A richly illustrated, foldout graphic history of the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the islands of the Caribbean.
North American history unfolds in this graphic timeline that places the United States, Canadian and Mexican/Caribbean histories in the context of their continent.
- From healers in the Aleutian islands in 10,000 BCE to the first to cultivate corn in 3,000 BCE in Mexico to Canadian scientists studying butterfly migration in 1975.
- From the Aztecs of the city of Tenochtitlan to the Mississippians who built Cahokia to the Inuit of the arctic and the Taino of the Caribbean.
- Then there are Spanish, French, English, and other Europeans who invaded in the 1500s, the enslaved Africans forcibly brought to our shores, and millions more, from all around the world.
Ours is the story of creation and destruction, migration, exploration, conquest, wars, alliances, trade, governments, railroads, mutinies, panning for gold, invention and art. It includes terrible injustices and amazing movements toward equality and freedom and so much more. So unfold the book and immerse yourself in the vast tapestry that is North American history.

"Using a large timeline format, this unique book tells the history of North America over the past 13,000 years. Notably, this title covers a lot of information. Each spread contains many important historical events from all over the continent … Along with the plethora of information, there are many detailed illustrations for readers to explore....The thick pages are actually one long piece that unfolds into one eight-foot long page." —School Library Journal
"Along with using careful, respectful language when referring to Native groups and ‘enslaved people’, Albee highlights women." —Kirkus Reviews
"This book is not a story but a fold-out timeline that is about 6 feet in length! Brimming with information and will probably take several readings to really see everything on each page." —Youth Services Book Review
