The American Experience Storybook

Grade 8

This Classical Conversations original anthology in the Copper Lodge Library series proves that “it’s time to celebrate heroes again!”  This one-volume collection of history stories, carefully researched and compiled by Classical Conversations staff, will whisk readers back to the years of the American colonies and the young United States of America.  Black & white vintage images and photographs introduce and illustrate biographical excerpts of the most famous figures in American history, balancing their flaws and imperfections with the bravery, hard work, perseverance, and innovation that it took to build a new country. These easy-to-read tales explore the lives of men and women like George Washington, Dolly Madison, Harriet Tubman, and Martin Luther King, Jr., and include personal quotes and informative footnotes.
