Year of the Horseless Carriage: 1801 Paperback – Illustrated, October 1, 2008

We read this as we studied early American history of the 1800s (Sonlight D). It was perfect. It ties in Jefferson, Fulton, Napoleon, and more. The kids looked forward to listening to it, but it could easily be used for a reader instead of a read aloud.

Genevieve Foster does amazing work. Her book  Augustus Caesar's World  "Augustus Caesar's World" was wide-ranging and meticulously researched and illustrated."1801" is equally well-researched and illustrated, but the scope is narrowed. It is quick to read and very intersting.Recommended for 5th grade history.

My daughter says she loves it because potentially boring historical facts are put in a "really fun" manner.

Great, readable history book.

We enjoyed this short, informative book on the early 19th century!Fun facts and stories for the children ages 8-13!
