Did you know that present-day northeast Ohio was once part of Connecticut? Play the new Westward Expansion game in the America's Library Web site and you'll learn how the 13 original states were joined by the territory that eventually became the United States as we know it today.

As you drive your Conestoga wagon across the country, you'll encounter such looming disasters as a hurricane, a raging fire and a ferocious alligator unless you can correctly answer the game's questions that test your knowledge of early-American history. America's Library, the interactive and educational Web site for kids, has also recently added the explorers Lewis and Clark to the list of "Amazing Americans" on the site.
