Studying American History this winter?
Bring your studies alive with high quality historical fiction first published in the early 1900's! Exciting, well-written stories about the conflicts between the settlers and the Indians are always in high demand and we at Salem Ridge Press believe The White Seneca and its sequel, At Seneca Castle, are two of the best books of this type available.

Now, for 3 days only, you can download the entire first half of The White Seneca FREE! We are also offering 10% off on physical copies of these two titles or 15% off when you buy both together, now through March 15, 2011.

The free download is only AVAILABLE THROUGH THURSDAY, MARCH 3RD, so don't miss this opportunity! We hope you enjoy these books as much as we have!

The White Seneca: Chapters 1-14


The White Seneca The White Seneca
By William W. Canfield

Captured by the Senecas, fifteen-year-old Henry Cochrane grows to love the Indian ways and becomes Dundiswa—the White Seneca. When Henry is captured by an enemy tribe, however, he must make a desperate attempt to escape from them and rescue fellow captive, Constance Leonard. He will need all the skills he has learned from the Indians, as well as great courage and determination, if he is to succeed. But what will happen to the young woman if they do reach safety? And will he ever be able to return to his own people?

Story Setting: Colonial America in 1774-1778
Originally published in 1911; 286 pages; For Ages 12 – Adult

Free Homeschooling eBook! Why Homeschooling Rocks

FREE!!

"Why Homeschooling ROCKS!"

by the Members of the Homeschool Buyers Co-op
A New Homeschooling Classic!

The Homeschool Buyers Co-op is pleased to offer members a FREE copy of "Why Homeschooling ROCKS!" by the Members of the Homeschool Buyers Co-op.

In Their Own Words
On July 9, 2010, the Co-op posted a simple challenge to our members on the Homeschool Buyers Co-op Facebook wall: "Tell us why homeschooling rocks, and the Co-op will give a $50 Amazon Gift Card to the member whose post draws the most "Likes" by the end of the month". We indicated that we would compile their posts into an eBook that would be published for all homeschoolers to enjoy. We had no idea what would happen.

In the days that followed, we watched with delight as a flood of answers to this simple question poured onto our wall, many of them with photos, and all of them compelling and heartfelt.

Now, as promised, the Homeschool Buyers Co-op is proud and pleased to present this moving testimonial to the joys and rewards of homeschooling. Whether you are considering homeschooling or yourself a homeschool veteran, we think you'll find words and images in this book that will inspire and delight you and your family.

Available Now to any Member

Join the Co-op now, and you'll have access to "Why Homeschooling ROCKS!" within minutes.

Homeschool Learning Network - Unit Study

Have you checked out Homeschool Learning Network's FREE unit studies?  They are packed full of great information and cover several grade levels at once.  You are in for a real treat!
I reviewed "Understanding Earthquakes".  This unit covers several subjects: science, language, math, and history.  In the beginning, earthquake terms such as faults, seismology, and richter scale are defined.  These terms are important as there are more articles on earthquakes further into the study.
This unit also covers earthquakes in history.  Did you know that there was an earthquake in China in 1177 BC?  Cool!
Not only does this unit study cover facts about earthquakes, but it also covers what to do and how to prepare for an earthquake.  A lot of people don't think that they need to know what to do because they don't live in California but many people live near faults and could, some day, experience an earthquake!
Further into this unit study, there are tons of links for further learning.  Although some of the links are expired, most of them do work and will help you and your student find out all about earthquakes!
Features:
  • Tons of information
  • Links for further study
  • What to do
  • Experiments
  • Lessons
  • Easy to follow format
You can read "Understanding Earthquakes" online here: Understanding Earthquakes Unit Study
You can download and save the FREE unit study here:  Free Unit Study
