Hey Katy!

MountainKat had it right (thanks for helping MK!). Go ahead and use what books you've read as long as they fall within the time period. Plus you still have over a month left on the challenge, so plenty of time to fill in what's missing. :)

Welcome to RRRC and welcome to this challenge!!! So glad to have you with us!

I'm going to attempt both 1 and 2.

I was pretty sure it was part of North America, and after googling around, Central America is technically North America, so I will have to go with the mappers of the world. Sorry :-/

And congratulation Melissa!! Great job!
