K-3Historical Biographies series.
These brief, formulaic books about Columbus's voyages and discovery of the New World (although he never admitted that he hadn't found the Indies) and de Soto's service in Panama and Nicaragua and his exploration of Florida provide a good starting point for report writers. The books are liberally illustrated with reproductions and maps. Pronunciation guide, reading list, timeline. Glos., ind. [Review covers these Historical Biographies titles: Christopher Columbus and Hernando de Soto.]
