COPY ISBN
Using over 400 images, including maps, photographs, posters, paintings, and infographics, a team of historians in collaboration with the Smithsonian Institution cover events and migrations in the Americas (primarily Canada, the U.S., Mexico, and Central America) from prehistory to the present. Arranged chronologically and focusing on the geographic area of what is now the United States, chapters explore the archeology of the Americas, First Peoples, European and English colonization, and the Great Depression. Sensitive language and inclusive viewpoints tell of events not always glorious and explore contradictions between statement and action. A time line, state fast-facts, a list of resources, and an index add to utility.
VERDICT Visually rich, with thoughtful and approachable text suitable for teen and adult readers.
