The first case is history. That's the famous trial of Sacco and Vanzetti, Boston's pair of immigrant anarchists executed for a murder many still say they never committed.The second case makes history -- at least for Doc Adams. John Robinson, Doc's handsome, generous friend, has been found dead, his body curiously unmarked. And two of the killer's fingers are discovered lodged in the jaws of Robinson's similarly dispatched guard dog.Between the seemingly unrelated cases, generations apart, lies a critical and hazardous link that will introduce Doc to the best-kept scandals of Boston's first families and to the Mafia strongholds of the colorful North End.

 OVERVIEW: We are fast losing our freedoms in America, and we as a people don’t even recognize this. If we don’t understand the cornerstones of freedom that the founders risked everything to establish, we won’t be vigilant about protecting our freedom. Kids need a thorough understanding of this crucial time in the history of our country. Attention is given in this course to the reasons the Constitution was written and understanding what that means for us today. There was much involved in establishing our nation and one or two chapters in a history book dealing with the War of Independence and the establishment of a new nation cannot adequately cover this crucial time period. 
 FEATURES: The calendar provides daily lessons with clear objectives, providing guidance on when to complete readings, worksheets, projects, and quizzes.
