They Came from Around the World: A Nation of Immigrants

The clothing, crafts, recipes, household tools, and games of the early American settlers are showcased in these activities that teach children about the hardships and triumphs of starting over in a new land. Providing a combination of hands-on projects and engaging text, the book includes immigrant groups from many nations and religious backgrounds in both the activities and the historical narrative, which is enlivened by little-known facts and biographical sketches.
