(4) 4-6 Making a New Nation series. After a context-setting introduction, brief vignettes recount the early expeditions of European explorers to the Americas during the 1400s and 1500s. The encounters and exploits of many well-known Spanish, French, English, and Portuguese explorers are simply told, giving limited but accessible information. Sidebars, photographs, drawings, and maps are included in the pleasing if somewhat busy design. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind.
