A sequel to The Story of Liberty. Originally titled Old Times In The Colonies, is a fascinating look at American history beginning with the explorers: Columbus, the Cabots, Vasco da Gama, Amerigo Vespucci, Ponce de Leon, Hernando Cortez, Jacque Cartier, and others.
Adults and children will get a realistic look at colonial life in this rich narrative.
Embraced by the Christian home school community, Sweet Land of Liberty comes beautifully illustrated with more than 200 antique engravings.
Coffin's fondness for detail keeps the history from growing stale. He stitches the elements of early American life into a dramatic quilt.
You will get a deeper understanding of history than that which the mere memorization of dates, people and places provides. You will see why Old World customs, habits and laws were gradually changed.
Our founders believed that in history’s record of the struggle of good and evil, that good would win out! They believed that the highest development in that struggle for good was Christianity. They proclaimed that the highest pinnacle toward which all history was moving was the day when the kingdoms of this world would become the kingdoms of our God and of His Christ.

-Greg Harris, author of The Christian Home School and director of Noble Institute writes:
"Sweet Land Of Liberty will walk you through the founding of each of the thirteen colonies and open your eyes to the marvelous Providence of God in the founding of our great nation."
-from Nancy Drazga, Great Christian Books Editor:
“This no 'textbook' history book, written by a committee of people committed to cramming the most number of facts possible into the least amount of space. There are a great many facts told, but they are woven into a compelling narrative by the author so that the student gets them intermingled with a story he will find hard to put down."
