(3) 4-6 Sterling Biographies series. Attractive layouts and numerous reproductions of photos, paintings, documents, etc. (e.g., Lewis's pre-expedition shopping list) make for easy-to-approach biographies of four famous explorers. The writing is solid, with sidebars that flesh out historical contexts and important contemporaries. Columbus and Henson give personal portraits; Lewis & Clark reads more like a history of the expedition. Source notes, timeline. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Sterling Biographies titles: Christopher Columbus, Lewis & Clark, and Matthew Henson.
