The Magic Tunnel

The Magic Tunnel
by Caroline D. Emerson, originally published in 1940.

Summary
Imagine suddenly finding yourself living three hundred years ago! Sarah and John take a subway ride one day -- and magically find themselves back in 1664, when New York was New Amsterdam. How odd it is to be living in colonial times! Sarah and John are rescued by an Indian scout. They meet Governor Peter Stuyvesant. They see the English take New Amsterdam from the Dutch. They are living in the midst of history. But all the while Sarah and John wonder -- will they ever find the magic tunnel that leads back home?
