Horn Book (Sun Aug 01 00:00:00 CDT 2004)

These short biographies outline famous figures of early America from their childhoods through their deaths and beyond. The generality of the information and the stilted writing style make for a very bland read. Captioned color photos and other archival images and page-filling sidebars are informative but occasionally disrupt the flow of the text. Map, reading list, timeline. Glos., ind.
