Horn Book Review

Cultural clashes and the exchange of traditions and knowledge between colonists and Native American people are the focus for this brief history. The text is choppy and cursory in its treatment of the subject, which is simply too large for the format. Illustrations are often not appropriately matched to text, words not always defined in context (though there is a glossary), and concepts are underexplained. Ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
