Repetitive definitions of challenging words (covered within the text, in a sidebar, and in the glossary) needlessly interrupt the flow. Reading list, websites. Ind. Review covers these American History through Primary Sources titles: Following Freedom, George Washington, Strike It Rich in Cripple Creek, The Dirty Thirties, Rebirth of a People, and Smokestacks and Spinning Jennys.
