Bolden succeeds in taking a complicated story and a dry document and making the narrative interesting, lively, and personal. The book is chock full of (even overstuffed with) reproductions of photographs, famous documents, paintings, engravings, cartoons, and maps, all thoroughly captioned, offering an album of visuals that make for fascinating browsing.
