4-6American History through Primary Sources series.
Simple, straightforward texts touch on important aspects of American history: the hysteria of the 1690s, the excess of the 1920s, the perseverance of the 1930s, the role of investigative reporters in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The choppy writing lacks depth, but photos and archival reproductions support the information. An open, inviting design makes these presentations accessible. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these American History through Primary Sources titles: America Has Fun, Climbing out of the Great Depression, Digging Up Dirt, and Salem Witch Trials.
