Drama of American History series.
Each of these accessible if not especially gripping books highlights a period in American history, focusing on the major political and social issues of the time while including discussion about life for average citizens. Along with useful maps and charts, the archival photographs and reproductions break up the heavy text blocks. These are solid informational materials for upper elementary and middle school students. Bib., ind.

Illustrated with period photographs, paintings, and useful maps that effectively break up the heavy blocks of text, each book in this series focuses on the major political and social themes of a specific period. The prose is clear and concise, albeit with a somewhat advanced vocabulary. The books include separate bibliographies for students and teachers. Ind.

Each volume focuses on a specific period in American history, discussing how political systems and institutions developed and evolved. Despite some generalizations (especially in Immigration), the accessible texts offer interesting anecdotes, along with the standard textbook facts. Illustrated with historical reproductions in color and black and white, the books also include plenty of maps. Bib., ind.

Drama of American History series.
Despite some overly stiff prose, the Colliers have created a unique and valuable resource for history students. The books focus on political and institutional (rather than social and cultural) history, debunk out-of-date myths, include viewpoints not often heard, and present portraits--of Indians, colonists, and British--that neither romanticize nor demonize. Illustrated with historical and reenactment photos. Bib., ind.
