My Place in History: Set 2

This series uses an inventive layout of fictional journal entries, letters, and more “found ephemera” to illustrate the fascinating stories of America’s past, from the Plymouth Pilgrims to Chinese immigrants working on the Transcontinental Railroad. This continuation of our popular first-person experience books opens up early American history to young readers in a new, vivid, and relatable way!
