In America's Story 1, your student will:

-Learn about those who lived & thrived in the Americas first
-Meet the Christian Viking who accidentally discovered America around 1000 A.D.
-Become acquainted with the many explorers and their amazing tales of the Americas
-Discover how simple words were used to powerfully shape the course of history
-Follow along through the Revolutionary War and watch as the Constitution of the United States of America is drafted
-Tell of the triumphs, hardships, mistakes, and victories that together formed the nation we now know
and so much more!
