Daily Life in the Pilgrim Colony 1636

Kids (or others with short attention spans) can look at the drawings and the many photographs of reproduction or actual historical items and locations, and learn a lot just by reading the captions. The text goes into more detail, but is short enough that it can be read fairly quickly. I wanted something to counter some of the popular-yet-inaccurate cultural images of the Pilgrims, and this is just what I was looking for. I could wish for more than a few paragraphs on the Native Americans, but of course there are other books that cover that aspect.
