El Ferrocarril Transcontinental (the Transcontinental Railroad)
by Michael Rajczak
Part of the Lo que no sabías de la historia (What You Didn't Know About History) series
The transcontinental railroad didn't really cross North America. In fact, the famed rail building that took place in the 1860s only completed the stretch from Nebraska to California. Readers will learn many new facts about the transcontinental railroad to augment what they learn in the social studies classroom. Historical images drive home the reality of a 12-hour workday, poor treatment of Chinese immigrant workers, and the dangerous tunneling through the Sierra Nevada. Fact boxes will further fascinate readers with one of the greatest industrial marvels of American history.

Cristóbal Colón (Christopher Columbus)
by Michael Rajczak
Part of the Lo que no sabías de la historia (What You Didn't Know About History) series
Christopher Columbus most likely wasn't the person to discover the Americas. He wasn't even the first European to do so! Despite that, his three trips to the Western Hemisphere led to many more European explorers heading in that direction. In this volume, readers familiar with Columbus's travels on the Nina, Pinta, and Santa Maria can learn who Columbus was beyond his travels. Supported by full-color and historic images, interesting main content turns what readers think they know about the life of Columbus on its head while expounding on an important period in the history of the world.
