Description
Where does American history begin? Not in 1492, but millennia before then when humans first settled this great continent. Who were these so-called “Native Americans?” How did they get here and what sorts of lives did they have? Why were the Europeans searching for a new world in 1492? What were Columbus and his patrons, Ferdinand and Isabella, hoping to find across the Atlantic? And what sort of colonies and empires did the Spanish, then the French, and then the English build when their ships finally hit land?
