Default Is there a book between Augustus Caesars World and World of John Smith??

I am thinking of using G. Forsters books as a spine for grade 7-9 while we do SOTW 1-4 with my youngers. So, is there another book in there somewhere???

Here's a list of all of the Foster books. A couple were published this past year.

The World of Columbus and Sons falls between the two books you mentioned.

I think the order would be Augustus Caesar (ancient), Columbus and Sons (medieval), John Smith (late 1500's, 1600's), George Washington (1700's), Lincoln (1800's).

Yeah, I'll third that - Columbus! Ain't it just too, too bad there's nothing more from the Middle Ages? We're so loving AC's World.....

Sure- I think I have them all, and they publish more! Now I have to add them to my ever-present list. I love these books.

I believe Beautiful Feet book now publishes William Penn's world which will bridge the gap between John Smith and George Wash's World. Unfortunately, the only book Foster wrote between Caesar and John Smith's world is Columbus.
