Series Review: The Library of the Westward Expansion
"The series is well crafted, well-researched and fascinating for the young reader. All titles use photographs, paintings from the times, and colorful illustrations to highlight what it was actually like settling and discovering the West. This is a great series in for the beginning and newly independent reader, yet sufficiently researched for the older student. These well-done books--all thoroughly researched, and great for browsing for reports--make this series a great addition to social studies collections, RECOMMENDED."
