(4) 4-6 American History through Primary Sources series. These books introduce readers to a wide range of popular topics in American history with an emphasis on primary sources such as maps, photographs, and newspaper clippings. Unfortunately, the writing style is inconsistent, making some books more polished than others. 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.
