hi! i’m looking for books about colonial america, around the time of the revolution. about native americans, or settlers. if possible, lesser known stories, though i’m still interested in life as a whole or even information about artifacts
in new england or south carolina areas is a plus!
i’m also hoping for something more “simply worded”, i just read the case of the piglets paternity and i really enjoyed how easy it was to read and how it involved lesser known stories (court cases)
thanks in advance!
