This newly revised edition takes readers into a Colonial Home of the 1600s and 1700s. See inside the kitchen, the fireplace, the bedchamber and the barn. Learn why immigrants from England, France, and Spain were drawn to North America, and how plantations in the South grew and prospered through the slave trade.
