The Chinese / English bilingual edition of the history series How America Became America added authentic Chinese translation to the succinct and compelling original text in English. Also a great language learning tool to help children learn either Chinese or English by studying the American history. The 13-book series introduced how the birth and growth of the United States was shaped by centuries of thinkers and events. In the 6th book, when Moses Austin first brought American settlers into Texas in 1820, little did he realize the far-reaching consequences of his action. Despite years of conflicts, those settlers would eventually join the United States as a new state, adding nearly a million square miles to America's land.
