The Sweet Land of Liberty by Charles C. Coffin - Reprinted from the original 1881 manuscript

Adults and children will get a realistic look at colonial life in this rich narrative.

• Stories of the Pilgrims, Puritans, Quakers,
• Miles Standish, William Penn, George Washington and other important figures are factual and dramatic.
• From the birth of Virginia Dare to the defeat of General Braddock, the reader will learn how the colonists struggled to survive and live free of tyranny.

Sweet Land of Liberty comes beautifully illustrated with more than 200 antique engravings.

Coffin's fondness for detail keeps the history from growing stale. He stitches the elements of early American life into a dramatic quilt. You will get a deeper understanding of history than that which the mere memorization of dates, people and places provides. You will see why Old World customs, habits and laws were gradually changed.

Our founders believed that in history’s record of the struggle of good and evil, that good would win out!

-Greg Harris, author of  The Christian Home School and director of Noble Institute writes:

"Sweet Land Of Liberty will walk you through the founding of each of the thirteen colonies and open your eyes to the marvelous Providence of God in the founding of our great nation." 

-from Nancy Drazga, Great Christian Books Editor:

“This no 'textbook' history book, written by a committee of people committed to cramming the most number of facts possible into the least amount of space. There are a great many facts told, but they are woven into a compelling narrative by the author so that the student gets them intermingled with a story he will find hard to put down."
