Joan Lowery Nixon has several books in a series called Young Americans Colonial Williamsburg. The titles are Ann's Story: 1747
Other books I had a school for the Colonial Period are Calico Bush by Rachel Field -- pretty much a classic, but only for good readers, about an indentured servant in Maine in 1743. Night Journeys and its sequel Encounter at Easton by Avi are simpler stories about indentured servants in 1768 near the Pennsylvannia-New Jersey border. I am an Avi fan, but I sometimes have trouble getting students to read him. For Jamestown settlement in addition to A Lion To Guard Us, there are two short diary type books published by Scholastic and by Patricia Hermes called Our Strange New Land and The Starving Time. These are simpler books that the Dear America books and are in the My America series. I had these at school and could not think of them this week end. It seemed everything I could think of this week end was the Revolutionary period!! Lori
