Hi- 

I just got the following request from my fifth grade teacher.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 
"I am looking  books that might have to do with the time period
- colonial days/settlers and Native American relations. It can be fiction,
non-fiction, or it could be historical fiction. Are there any biographies of
people from the time? Or?? Any suggestions would be great!"
