Let's Find Out! Primary Sources
Primary source documents are some of
the best resources we have to understand the people, societies, and cultures of the past.
This series introduces young readers to the importance of primary
sources and illustrates how we can analyze them, what kinds of unique information we
can glean from them, and the immersive experience of history they can
provide. Focusing on a single primary source document, each title will explore
the historical events that gave rise to said document, explain exactly what is
being said, and describe how the document affected the historical landscape.

glossary
