A microstudy of Connecticut

Connecticut was one of the first areas settled by Europeans at the dawn of the modern era. For that reason, it is rich in history. And its role during the Revolution is extremely crucial to an understanding of us as a nation. This great little book will explain it allThe "Portrait of America" series is a wonderful and concise introduction for pre-teens to all of the fifty states and to the places and events that shaped the history of the United States. This "Connecticut" installment is particularly good. The book is broken down into sections like "History", "Culture", "Economy" etc., and each section is thoughtfully written and edited. And this edition is loaded with several beautiful photographs. The "History" section is my personal favorite, mostly for its coverage of Connecticut's colonial era.This book, as well as the entire "Portrait of America" series, will prove to be a valuable teaching tool to all primary school educators.
