American Journeys

Abstract:

Everything teachers and students need for a successful National History Day project is available at this site -- topic ideas, lesson plans, research advice, and thousands of pages of fully indexed eyewitness accounts of North American exploration. Follow famous explorers. Witness first contacts between cultures. See how the exchange of goods and ideas forever altered people's daily life and ideas. Find out what "America" meant to the people who arrived here long ago and to the people who greeted them. Re-discover what it means to you.
American Journeys puts thousands of pages of direct evidence about early American exploration and settlement in the hands of teachers and students twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, whether they're in the classroom, at the library, in their home, or using a laptop on the go.
