Food and Cooking in American History — Dana Meachen Rau

Correlated to the social studies curriculum, each title in How People Lived in America looks at one aspect of daily life and how it has changed through different periods of American history. Clear, descriptive writing helps young readers build vocabulary and reading comprehension, while historical photographs and illustrations work with the text to increase students' knowledge about the lives of earlier Americans. Each title includes a glossary, index, and additional resources for further study.
