The frenzied search for gold and the territorial rivalries of European monarchs provided the necessary catalysts for much early exploration and colonization of the New World. This educational coloring book recreates detailed pictures of many key moments from this era.

Thirty-nine historically accurate illustrations depict the key events and persons that span centuries of exploration – from the arrival of the Vikings to the establishment of the colonies and the exploration of the American Far West. Extended paragraph captions provide practical background information, which makes this an ideal supplement for any history curriculum or unit study.
