He pondered +how to get the Southern States back into the Union. He needed +quiet to think what to do.

He tossed it onto +his shoulder and followed a buffalo trail across the mountains into +what is now Kentucky. + His name was Daniel Boone. + He found wild country. There were no settlers, no roads. Indians +hunted in the woods for food. The country was beautiful and dangerous. +But here was rich, free land -- miles and miles of it. + Many settlers, besides the Pilgrims, had come to the shores of +America. But they had stayed on the safe land between the sea and +the mountains. + Columbus discovered America in 1492. Later, other explorers +visited the new land. They told people in Europe of the forests, +furs, and fish they found. Many Europeans decided to settle in +this wonderful land. But some of the first settlers starved to +death during the hard winters. Others lived to build settlements +or colonies for their mother countries. Colonial America was +beginning. In 1607, three ships brought men from England to what +is now Jamestown, Virginia. They were looking for gold. + The leader, Captain John Smith, taught the men to build houses +of stakes and branches. They plastered the walls of the houses with +mud. +#copyin +#user +#uncopyin +#match of +#log +#next +4.1g 10 |
