The gift was to commemorate the one hundredth birthday of the United States, and just packing it was no small feat—350 pieces in 214 crates shipped across the ocean. The story of how the 111-foot-tall lady took her place in the New York Harbor will fascinate young readers. In 1848, gold was discovered in California, attracting over three hundred thousand people from all over the world. Some struck it rich, but many more didn’t. Hear the stories about the gold- seeking “forty-niners!” With black-and white illustrations and sixteen pages of photos, a nugget from history is brought to life! After their first harvest in 1621, the Pilgrims at Plymouth shared a three-day feast with their Native American neighbors. Of course, the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag didn’t know it at the time, but they were making history, celebrating what would become a national holiday. What Was the First Thanksgiving?
