America Landmark Books Reading List

Historical Living Books

(4th – Adult)

This is an old set of books written before children’s books were so post-modern and communist in their content. Though not written from a Christian point of view, this series is more wholesome than modern books and covers American history in an interesting way. I always look for this series at garage sales, library sales, and used book stores.
