Ohio History Help

[cin]

I am looking for a text/story book to use for Ohio History. I am NOT good at unit studies, so I really need something that we can read through without having to pull information from all different places. Any reccommendations are GREATLY appreciated!

Last year my daughter was in 4th grade and we used the following for Ohio History:

 

Ohio Adventures in Time and Place, elementary textbook from McGraw-Hill (this can be purchased cheaply through Amazon used books; I did not use the TM but there is one available)

http://www.amazon.com/Ohio-Adventures-Place-Banks-James/dp/0021491143/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1281095757&sr=8-1

 

Heroes of Ohio book (there is also a coloring book available)

Ohio map study: major cities, some rivers, and bordering states

 

For 5th grade, we will continue with the map study and use Around Ohio in 80 Days http://www.aroundin80days.com/ProductPage2.asp?CategoryID=2 (New York is also available)

 

Also, on our time-line we have included presidents and famous people from Ohio. I mount these items on green paper so they are easy to see.

Let's Discover Ohio is the standard Ohio History text for 4th grade. I bought an older used version cheap. It is a great book.

I don't know your religious preference, but here is State history from a Christian perspective.
