Land From Mexico

Take a look at the United States from a far, and then discover how we came about to become this nation in this eye-opening edition of COBBLESTONE Magazine. Starting with the land itself, moving into the indigenous people, and then the patchwork quilt of countries who all claimed stakes in our states, you’ll get a perspective of America that you’ve never seen.

Learn about the history of a number of our states such as Florida, California, and Texas and see how they evolved into the America we know today. Explore the roles Spain, France, England, and other countries played in shaping the shape of our nation—and discover how we came about claiming territory for our own. Finally dig into the multitude of influences that have helped create American culture. This edition of COBBLESTONE gives you a brand new view of America!
