Americans before Columbus; par Elizabeth Chesley Baity
A history of the pro-Columbus Americas intended for children. Pretty darned dry for a kid's book, to be honest. I suspect there are better ones out there at this point.
½
An interesting book that i picked up at a libray book sale. It is an overview of spinning and weaving from anciet times to the 20th century. It is a book i pick up and put down irregularly. It gives bits and pieces of history related to cloth through the centuries. I like that kind of querky info from time to time.
