(4) 4-6 Events That Shaped America series. This book gives a simple overview of the removal of the five so-called "civilized tribes" of Native Americans from the eastern U.S. to present-day Oklahoma. The treatment of the events is brief and fails to do complete justice to the complex subject, but sidebars, boxed quotes, maps, photographs, and drawings enhance the text. Activities, reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind.

(4) K-3 Raintree Biographies series. Each of the dryly written books in this series begins with a character-defining event--Roosevelt's driving alone through the Tennessee mountains despite a death threat; Boone's rescue of his daughter from Indians--and then proceeds to briefly summarize their lives. Each double-page spread is broken up by reproductions and photos, as well as quotes and text boxes. A timeline is appended. There are five other fall 2002 books in this series. Bib., glos., ind. [Review covers these Raintree Biographies titles: Crazy Horse, Frederick Douglass, Daniel Boone, Eleanore Roosevelt, and Thomas Jefferson.]
