Horn Book Review

This historical overview begins with the Stone Age era and encompasses the Vikings, early Native American cultures, and later Spanish and French conquests: Christopher Columbus receives surprisingly little attention. The colloquial prose is illustrated with detailed sketches and poorly duplicated historical reproductions. The cramped, hand-lettered text is difficult to read. Bib., ind. (c) Copyright 2010.
