(4) K-3 Illustrated by Doreen Lorenzetti. Williams's compelling personal journey--slave, free woman, forced Union laundress, Buffalo Soldier (disguised as a man), Western entrepreneur--is told sympathetically and in some detail, despite the text's awkward transitions. Dark-hued illustrations are somewhat static, though the skills--from cooking to shooting a rifle to sewing clothing--and determination of this remarkable woman emerge clearly. Timeline. Bib.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
