Not Just Historical Fiction but Books Written During Specific Time Periods

Historical fiction are good books to help students understand specific time periods in history. Another interesting way to learn about history is to read books written during specific time periods. There are companies that specialize in publishing books that were written a long time ago. I think it would be fun to find some of these books and read them with my grandchildren. Then we can have some great discussions about what it was like then compared to what it is like now. Some of these very old books might be fun holiday presents.
