The Kansas-Nebraska Act and "Bleeding Kansas" in American History

(4) 4-6 In American History series. Each book goes into some depth highlighting a short segment in American history. The use of details and a storytelling prose style lend interest to all three titles, which are on the whole better than other books in this series; Plymouth is especially compelling, as it includes a focus on the Pilgrims' daily life. Too small black-and-white photos appear infrequently throughout. Reading list, timeline, websites. Ind. [Review covers these In American History titles: The Plymouth Colony and the Pilgrim Adventure in American History, The Kansas-Nebraska Act and "Bleeding Kansas" in American History, and The Spanish-American War and Teddy Roosevelt in American History.]
