<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>If this 1500 year old tree could talk it would introduce you to Native Americans, Explorers, Trappers, Pioneers, Ranchers, and Naturalists<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>The Old Patriarch Tree</em> is a real tree in a real place. Experts say it may even be 1,500 years old! It survives and thrives in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. Have you ever wondered, if ancient trees could talk, what stories they could tell?</p><p>This human history story, told by the eyewitness tree at the feet of the Grand Teton starts with Shoshone natives then moves to the first white explorers, like John Coulter. Next come trappers, pioneers, cowboys, naturalists, and tourists. <em>The Patriarch</em> observes as furs go east, and wagons carve their way west. It ends by encouraging children to observe, conserve, and protect wild America.</p><p>The History Tree Series books provide enriching content to the adult reader so that they can share with the little ones who are hearing the tale. The loving guidance of a parent, teacher, or older reader will help the child understand the amazing events in their heritage and where they fit in the story. Rhyming text and beautiful illustrations will make your child want to hear <em>The Patriarch </em>again and again!!</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Such a great book on so many levels!"<br>This is a fantastic book. The first of which I hope will be a lengthy series. The idea of trees telling their stories is brilliant- a way for kids to learn our history in a safe way. I appreciated the optional text on the bottom of many pages with additional facts. I also love that we can read this book, and then actually go visit the tree and historic site. Even as an adult, having been raised with stories of the Grand Tetons, I learned new facts. While it might be hard for some children to know that people fought and died in land battles, the author handles it with care and appropriately, letting kids know the weighty issues without it being too heavy. Could easily be part of a homeschool curriculum or even support traditional school curriculum on American history.</p><p>Marcy Pusey- "Gittle List" Award-Winning Children's Author of According to Corban & Speranza's Sweater</p><br>
