On a hot summer day in 2005, Dr. Douglas Owsley of the Smithsonian Institution peered into an excavated grave, carefully examining the fragile skeleton that had been buried there for four hundred years. \"He was about fifteen years old when he died. And he was European,\" Owsley concluded.

Join author Sally M. Walker as she works alongside the scientists investigating colonial-era graves near Jamestown, Virginia, as well as other sites in Maryland. As you follow their investigations, she'll introduce you to what scientists believe are the lives of a teenage boy, a ship's captain, an indentured servant, a colonial official and his family, and an enslaved African girl. All are reaching beyond the grave to tell us their stories, which are written in bone.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51375964979423,"sku":"9781728424323","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/0PzPhe3m3A9781728424323.webp?v=1789210927"},{"product_id":"tides-journey-board-book","title":"Tide's Journey - Board Book","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh tide, low tide . . . what happens when the tides flow?
