    SKU: 8102

    $19.99

    Missions, Miners, and Moviemakers in the Golden State, Includes 21 Activities

    By Katy S. Duffield

    The rich story of the men and women who settled and built the Golden State is told in this engaging chronicle, from the first native inhabitants that arrived 9,000 years ago and the Spanish in the 1700s to the followers of the Gold Rush in 1848 and the Hollywood and Silicon Valley newcomers. They faced many struggles—including earthquakes, economic hardships, and the forced internment of Japanese citizens—yet they persevered. To get a better idea of the scope of California history and the lives of the state’s residents, children will create a Chumash rock painting, play the Miwok game of Hoop and Pole, bake and eat hardtack like a gold miner, design a cattle brand, assemble an earthquake preparedness kit, and more. This valuable resource also includes a time line of significant events, a list of historic sites to visit or explore online, and Web resources for further study.

When they find work on a ranch in California's Salinas Valley, the dream at last seems within reach. But their hopes, like "the best-laid schemes of mice and men," begin to go awry.

    Biddy Mason never dreamed of becoming a pioneer. She was forced to by her master, to who she ha been given as a "wedding gift" at just eighteen years of age. Walking 1700 miles across the Great Plains, Biddy herded cattle, set up camp, fed a large family, and care for her master's sickly wife-all with a nursing baby on her hip.

    Though small in stature, Biddy had an indomitable spirit, braving bitter cold, thunderstorms and hailstorms, blistering heat, and blistered feet. And when the opportunity came for her to gain her freedom in California, she did so. Free at last, Biddy put all her knowledge, skill, and resourcefulness to good use, delivering babies, healing the sick, and feeding the hungry.

    She was the first black woman in Los Angeles to own property and became one of California's wealthiest African American women. Known for her charity and generosity, Biddy care for the afflicted during the smallpox epidemic, founded the First African Methodist Episcopal Church in Los Angeles, started schools for black children, and visited jail inmates. Her grateful community lovingly called her Grandma Mason-the woman who lived by the gospel of the "open hand."

    Exploration of North America Coloring Book

    SKU: 12286

    $4.99

    The frenzied search for gold and the territorial rivalries of European monarchs provided the necessary catalysts for much early exploration and colonization in the New World. This entertaining and educational coloring book recreates detailed pictures of many key moments—when European explorers and settlers left historical footprints on the North American continent. Thirty–nine realistically rendered line drawings — many of them double-page spreads — depict historic events that span centuries of exploration — from the arrival of the Vikings in Vinland (ca. 1000 A.D.) to the establishment of colonies in Virginia, Maryland and Massachusetts, and the exploration of the American Far West by Zebulon Pike and Jedediah Smith. Among the scenes captured by artist Peter Copeland are Columbus' ship Ni̴ña anchored off the Bahamian coast (1492), John Cabot exploring Canada's east coast (1497), Ponce de León in Florida (1513), Verrazano exploring the middle Atlantic coast (1524), Cortés' conquest of Mexico and overthrow of the Aztec empire (1519), Coronado exploring the Southwest (1540-1542), Francis Drake in California before completing his round-the-world voyage (1577-1580), the ill-fated Roanoke colony (1584-1587), Samuel de Champlain establishing the first permanent French colony in North America (1608) and 30 other excellent illustrations.

    A fact-filled introduction and informative captions complete this carefully researched resource that will be welcomed by colorists, students, parents, teachers, and adventure-lovers of all ages.
