Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

(3 Sterne; 2 Bewertungen)

A simplified history of the state of Missouri, from ancient Prehistoric times to the late 19th century, written chiefly in words of one syllable. Books such as this one were popular around the turn of the 20th century as a way to help children learn to read. A book like this could also be useful for remedial readers and ESL learners as well. - Summary by mungojerry311 (4 hr 5 min)
