Voices from Colonial America: New France 1534-1763 (National Geographic Voices from ColonialAmerica)
In this addition to the Voices from Colonial America series, Worth presents the history of the vast French colony known as New France. Clearly written, the book is studded with quotes from people living in the colony and illustrated with colorful paintings, prints, and maps from a variety of periods. Sidebars spotlight topics such as the rights of women in New France and the hard lot of an Acadian family forcibly removed to Massachusetts. This nicely designed introduction to a historically significant area fills a gap in many colonial history series and library collections. Grades 6-9. --Carolyn Phelan
