I would be using them with a 10th and an 8th grader. I got a great deal on them ($2 each).</p> http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/topic/story-of-liberty-spine-for-history#post-21184 Mon, 07 Jun 2010 11:48:55 +0000 Karen Smith 21184@http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/ <p>We have read Sweet Land of Liberty and The Boys of '76. For us, they were a great addition to our early American history studies and we quite enjoyed them. I agree that they are definitely for older students. </p> http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/topic/story-of-liberty-spine-for-history#post-21180 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 22:16:54 +0000 Des 21180@http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/ <p>I've used this book with another program and it is definitely for higer grades.&nbsp; I liked it, but my kids were dialectic level and higher who were reading it.&nbsp; It does have some dry spots.</p> http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/topic/story-of-liberty-spine-for-history#post-21177 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 20:07:16 +0000 Rachel 21177@http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/ <p>The Andreolas at Christianbook give&nbsp;wonderful reviews for the Coffin's books. <a href="http://www.christianbook.com/charles-coffin-volume-history-book-pack/charles-coffin/pd/674012?event=SP99143|1470482|99143|1470482|99143"><a href="http://www.christianbook.com/charles-coffin-volume-history-book-pack/charles-coffin/pd/674012?event=SP99143" rel="nofollow">http://www.christianbook.com/charles-coffin-volume-history-book-pack/charles-coffin/pd/674012?event=SP99143</a>|1470482|99143|1470482|99143</a>&nbsp;</p> <p>I will be getting them when mine are older HOwever, it seems they are for the middle grades and up, so not for elementary spines.</p> <p>They are reprints of history "texts" from the mid-1800's, that were written more in story form, thorough,&nbsp;before the Progressives took over our Country's history transformation in the early 20th Cen.; so "yeah" for you that you have them!</p> <p>Again, as for a spine, I think it just depends on your children's&nbsp;ages. Hopefully, someone else will chime in, too.</p> <p>Rachel</p> http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/topic/story-of-liberty-spine-for-history#post-21172 Sun, 06 Jun 2010 18:08:34 +0000 mom2five 21172@http://simplycharlottemason.com/scmforum/ <p>I recently picked up <em>The Story of Liberty </em>and <em>Sweet Land of Liberty </em>by Charles Coffin. I am considering using them for a history spine next year. I know many of you have extensive libraries so I thought you could give me some opinions.&nbsp;Have any of you used them? Did you like them? Why or why not? Thanks for your time.</p>
