A Primary Source History of the U.S. Civil War

(4) 4-6 Fact Finders: Primary Source History series. Clear double-page spreads feature a variety of visual elements including charts, graphs, and maps; reproduced photographs and documents; and sidebars with critical-thinking questions. The series purports to promote the importance of primary source material, though the direct quotes in red font are injected rather unnaturally into the narratives. Still, these are adequate starting points for American history research. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Fact Finders: Primary Source History titles: A Primary Source History of the Gold Rush and A Primary Source History of the U.S. Civil War.
