Publisher's Synopsis
THIRTEEN COLONIES & THE LOST COLONY(TM) Take a step back and discover the thirteen colonies of Colonial America. From European exploration through the American Revolution, witness the unique history and character of each colony. Trace the role of each colony in the American Revolution and that colony's impact on the formation of our Constitution. The story of how North Carolina attracted a growing influx of settlers, not only from several European countries, but also from other American colonies, provides a colorful look into the resulting troubled relations with the area's Native American tribes, Bluebeard's rampant piracy, and the fiercely independent colonists' growing spirit of rebellion against England. "Good organization, well-written text which reads like a story, numerous quotes and historic incidents, attractive format and well-designed pages, drawings, maps...all make this title a recommended source for studies in the colonial period of American history." - ASSOCIATION OF REG.
