Here's a history critical to our development as a nation and world power, full of fascinating events and interesting developments: an agricultural society turns into an industrial power; the frontier closed; millions of immigrants arrived; cities grew and populations exploded; modern means of transportation were invented; the U.S. became a world power. Told in an easy-to-read, anecdotal narrative that kids can read and enjoy on their own, this period in our history comes to life with stories and illustrations about the effects of change on American life - new forms of recreation, housing and working conditions, the fight for equality, new means of transportation, reform efforts, and much more. Each chapter of 'Reconstrution to 1900' includes a variety of activities and puzzles that engage young readers in the period and draw upon their skills in a wide variety of subject areas. Book includes eleven chapters, with four pages of activities following each chapter. For grades 4-8. Reproducible, perforated pages.
