      Gr 3-6-The ability to make sense of and evaluate primary sources is an important one. These updates to a series that SLJ once called "strong options for those introducing the concept of primary source analysis" are ideal additions. Previous offerings took on the dust bowl, slavery, U.S. independence, and westward expansion. With quotes from letters, speeches, and newspaper articles presented in brown and italicized, these offerings are sure to fit the bill for students doing research on U.S. history.

      Clear double-page spreads feature a variety of visual elements including charts, graphs, and maps; reproduced photographs and documents; and sidebars with critical-thinking questions. The series purports to promote the importance of primary source material, though the direct quotes in red font are injected rather unnaturally into the narratives. Still, these are adequate starting points for American history research. Bib., glos., ind.
