School Library Journal Review

Gr 5-9-Covering their title topics in 60 wide-margined pages, these skinny volumes provide broad overviews at best. Their strength lies in the inclusion of excerpts from letters, diaries, and speeches from the respective eras. Students will learn that history affects people personally even when they are not directly connected to a specific event. The writing is clear, the full-color and black-and-white photographs are plentiful, and the limited information is sound. While the books cannot be used for detailed research, they will give readers a working acquaintance with some of the key occurrences and personalities in American history in pleasing, well-organized presentations.-Valerie Childress, J.W.
