(4) 4-6 Crossroads America series. Each short book highlights an important period in American history. Full-page color spreads of reproduced paintings and photographs are much more attractive than the bland texts. Eye-pleasing borders and overlays often overshadow rather than illuminate the texts. Glos., ind. Review covers these Crossroads America titles: Railroad Fever and Independence Now.
