Your Travel Guide to America's Old West

96 pp. | Lerner | December, 2003 | Library ISBN 0-8225-3074-0 $$26.60
(4) 4-6 Passport to History series. With its modern-day tourist-guide tone, this compendium focusing on the 1800s American West is amusing and informative. Small cartoon figures of pioneer women, miners, and Native American women--all wearing sunglasses--accompany short, sometimes humorous trivia, but the paintings and photographs of the time are more useful sources of information. Pronunciation guide, reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., glos., ind.
