It's a great book. I loved it because our 5th grade class was going to do reports on colonial trades, and you have one guess that I was assinged the doctor. Well, I couldn't find enough infromation until I found this book. it's really really really really ...good (apologies for the reallys). I learned a lot from it. Maybe if you read it, you'll learn a lot too.
