Joan:  I'm sorry this took so long but I kept forgetting the book at school
and I read my e-mail at home.  There is a good soft cover book called
_Teaching American History Through the Novel_ by Sharon Bannister with
Twyla R. Wells.  It's published by J. Weston Walch Publisher in Portland,
Maine.  I don't know the ISBN.  It cost $25.00  and I purchased it at a
recent media educator's meeting.  It's lists and annotates novels for
middle school/high school level by American History eras pre-colonial
through Viet Nam War.  Below is a list of titles for the time period you
