Elspeth Leacock Book order

Americans have always been a people on the move. Journeys in Time maps twenty journeys that have shaped our national past. In these twenty two-page spreads packed with information, young historians are introduced to stories of change—of pilgrims and pioneers, soldiers and children, explorers and adventurers building new lives and finding new worlds. From a cabin boy who sailed with Columbus to a Union soldier and a young migrant farm worker, these journeys changed the lives of those who took them. Journeys in Time is an atlas, a book of maps. It's also a storybook. With thousands of visual and verbal facts, Elspeth Leacock, Susan Buckley, and Rodica Prato have created a new way to experience the excitement of history. Each "story map" allows you to follow in the footsteps of the real people who made American history, This is a book to savor, to learn from, to pore over, and to share. " Journeys in Time and Places in Time are like no other historical atlases I have ever seen. This is good history, the way it should have been written long ago—to make history come alive and to help us understand that history is a journey." —Elaine Wrisley Reed, Executive Director, National Council for History Education

Visit the places of America’s past, the places where real people led their lives and made American history. Places in Time takes readers to twenty sites that have shaped our national story. Each stopping point is a birds-eye view of a moment in time: Hear the Great Sun call out to his people at Cahokia, ride with General Benedict Arnold at Saratoga, step out of a sedan chair at Independence Hall, and join the Fergusons as they move into “the city as new as tomorrow.”
