  1. We order our copy for our homeschool, it's such a great offer. I don't think she's quite ready for it this year, but it will be a great thing to have when she is. There's supposed to be curriculum resources add to the site shortly as well.

  2. What parents need to know! (Review from common sense media)

    Parents need to know that this educational series offers visually graphic reenactments of American historical events. People are shown being shot, blown up, stabbed with bayonets, etc. (bloody wounds and dead corpses visible). There are also brief discussions about prostitution, cannibalism, slavery, Native American displacement, disease, starvation, and other strong topics. All these themes are offered within a historical context, but may be a little disturbing to younger and/or sensitive viewers.
