Horn Book Review

Two dozen subtopics ranging from Native Americans to snake oil salesmen give an overview of U.S. western expansion. In addition to a summary paragraph, each subdivision is well illustrated, sometimes to the point of crowding, with captioned photographs and occasional maps. The brief treatment and random selection of the material make the book best for browsing. Ind. From HORN BOOK Spring 2002, (c) Copyright 2010.
