“This movement, or migration, of people continued very slowly over thousands of years. New groups moved across from Asia, and earlier arrivals moved farther into the new land. Gradually people spread throughout what are now Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central and South America.“
This book features lots of maps to help visualize the journeys taken to the Americas.
pickA history of the Americas, starting with ancient people coming over from the land bridge. I like that this book starts and values the people who were here first (Indigenous peoples).
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

so-soI am irritated that the catalog of shipwrecked books took up less than a chapter. It focused on Columbus, his legacy, & his illegitimate son‘s work to keep the legacy alive. Towards the end of the book, it gets to Hernando‘s (the son) great life work - building a library that was inclusive of all print and all languages (that he could access at the time) which was very unique and interesting and should have been the focus of the book.
2/5 stars
pickEncounter was written by Jane Yolen and David Shannon. This book shares a story from a different perspective- from the Taino Indians that Christopher Columbus met when he first landed in San Salvador in 1492.

You know what‘s more horrifying than a splatterpunk novel? The inaccurate history our young people are learning in school! Obviously, I couldn‘t think of a better, more spooky title for this prompt! 🤓🤗
