Find out what life was like in colonial America from the people who lived it! This first book in the American Heritage American Voices series will give you a rare glimpse into the day-to-day experiences of early Americans. You’ll learn from fourteen-year-old George Washington about his Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior (such as "Do not laugh too much or too loud in public."); you’ll read the testimony of an accused witch from the Salem witch trials; and you’ll hear about the terrible conditions African slaves suffered when they were brought to America, from one of the slaves who survived. You’ll also find out about what led up to the Boston Tea Party, what happened to the signers of the Declaration of Independence and the daring mission of the first submarine (in 1776!).
