    Pictorial Study Guides for American History

    These fellows presented their online study resource - which includes, introductions, lesson plans, timelines, fun facts, summaries and test reviews, and a large image gallery sorted by time period - at a conference I attended in Pasadena last Spring.

How did they reach the Americas? And where exactly did they go?"
