Founded on the highest principles, and sustained through hard work, sacrifice, ingenuity, and devotion, the American legacy has been passed on from one generation to the next. Each Cornerstones of Freedom volume conveys a dramatic and defining moment in American history. While fun to read, the books are also highly factual and support the school curriculum. In addition, they effectively enable young people to acquire critical research skills through the use of important reference features. An indispensable social studies resource for young readers.

''Early North America'' provides a detailed and richly illustrated overview of the lives of the first Americans from their earliest migrations over the Bering land bridge to their initial encounters with European explorers. The book traces the settlement of these early nomadic peoples across North America the evolution of tools, the establishment of agriculture, and the rise of elaborate regional cultures. Styles of shelter, modes of travel and transport, and the prevalence of art and ornamentation suggest remarkable creativity and human ingenuity. Tribal beliefs, habits, practices, and the unique structures of various tribal societies are discussed. The last third of the book documents European ''discovery'' of the New World, the often brutal rivalries among European colonizers, and the savage treatment of native peoples. Challenging review questions encourage meaningful reflection and historical analysis. Maps, tests, answer key, extensive bibliography, and bonus timeline are included.

''The American Colonies'' provides a detailed and richly illustrated overview of the trials of Europeans in the New World. From the earliest primitive encampments on the Atlantic seacoast to the settled societies of the later colonial period, this book vividly describes the disastrous first years, the strained reliance on native peoples, the horrors of the African slave trade, and deteriorating relations with England, which stand in marked contrast to the hope, strength, resilience, and determination with which colonialists carved a nation out of the North American wilderness.

''The Revolutionary War'' provides a detailed overview of the American battle for independence and the forging of a nation. From the earliest skirmishes at Lexington and Concord to the decisive victory at Yorktown, to the writing of the Constitution and the struggles of early national America, this book tracks both the logistical and intellectual dimensions of the ''revolution'', which, as John Adams said, took place ''in the hearts and minds of Americans . . . before a single drop of blood was shed.'' As much as it vividly documents the particulars of battle, it is the dizzying aftermath of the war and the complexities of fulfilling the ''idea'' of America that form the impressive substance of this book. Also discussed are the social, cultural, and artistic advances of the post-Revolutionary period, including women's suffrage and the beginning of public education, with special emphasis given to the ''American Renaissance'' and the rising of distinctly American literature.
