Horn Book Review

Enduring episodes from American history are neatly summarized in compact volumes that combine clearly written texts with historical reproductions and photographs. The simple prose makes judicious use of quotes from principle figures and places events within the context of their time periods, resulting in a series of non-intimidating introductions of major historical events. Time lines are included. Glos., ind. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
