Many of you may have heard or seen the Liberty Letters books series before but they been reworked and republished into four new paperbacks. They also sport new titles: Adventures in Jamestown, Escape on the Underground Railroad, Secrets of Civil War Spies, and Attack at Pearl Harbor.
On the back cover of the book is the address for a companion website for the series: http://www.libertyletters.com. The site has a lot of resources on the periods of history covered in each book - Jamestown, Underground Railroad, Civil War and Pearl Harbor (World War II). There are videos which feature images and facts about life during the period - the one on Underground Railroad is particularly interesting.
There are also stories from historical figures like Harriet Tubman (did you know she was also a Union spy?), women pilots from World War II and others.
The site even has recipes and music from each period.
Worth checking out.
