Reviews

• Rating - Outstanding! If you are a Homeschooler
  this book is a must!This book is outstanding! It
  has really easy to use time appropiate recipes
  that include options that might be easier to find
  today. This book covers American Indians, The
  Colonial Period, The Revolutionary War, Westward
  Expansion, The Civil War, and the last 6 chapters
  break up the U.S. and give recipes likely to be
  found in those areas. At the end of each chapter
  is a great resource of books on the subject with
  detailed discriptions that are VERY helpful! If
  you are a Teacher or a Homeschooler this book is
  a must!
• Rating - Priceless Resource for
  homeschoolers!!!I first found this book at a
  Library and instantly fell in love. I knew I had
  to get one of my own. It is such a treasure trove
  of information and the recipes are so
  interesting. In my search for a good resource on
  Native Americans, I have finally hit the jack
  pot. I love this book and highly highly recommend
  it for anyone....especially if your a
  homeschooler!
