Celebrate the Founding of America with Elaine Landau

News travels slow in the colonies. It can take weeks or months to hear about an event, especially if you are out in the ocean! Everything written or printed must be hand delivered and everything spoken is subject to misinterpretation. That's why I like this book so much. It puts many of the events into plain fact and keeps me current in the who's who of our struggle for independence.


Take a trip in time to Philadelphia in 1776. The American colonies were fighting for freedom and the delegates of the Second Continental Congress were working to make a new nation with one of the most famous documents in history: the Declaration of Independence. Join author Elaine Landau and her dog Max, along with Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and Benjamin Franklin, and see the writing of the Declaration and the Constitution that on which America is founded.

Written by Elaine Landau and available from Enslow Publishers.
