(4) YA American Historic Places series. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, this volume profiles ten early U.S. settlements, from a Pueblo community to a gold rush ghost town, that can currently be visited by tourists. This history lesson/tour book's mixed focus and its often dry tone--while informative--make for a less than engaging presentation. Bib., ind.

(4) YA American Historic Places series. Each of the ten entries in this book focus on a place that is a landmark for a specific fight for social or political justice. Places covered include Wounded Knee, the Jane Addams-Hull House Museum, and Valley Forge. Much of the information is useful, but some of the material is very loosely connected to the subject. The book design and text are quite dry and encyclopedia-like. Black-and-white photos and maps are included. Bib., ind.
