Imagine a tree that has been alive for three hundred years. The tree has endured all types of weather and storms, standing strong and providing shade for all those who take the time to sit beneath its branches. The History Tree story tells of all the events, people, and history of the years that go by while standing tall in the original place of its planting. The story is encouraging to all ages, and the illustrations are presented by the original paintings of Paul Lawton. The History Tree was written to inspire the reader to look further into the historical events of America's past and learn what America has been through over many decades. The story was an idea that came to life when the author saw a tree standing all alone, tall and proud, and he wondered all the tree had witnessed over the many years of existing in that plot of ground. Read and enjoy the wonderful story of America along with the beautiful paintings for each story described.
