Gr 5-8-These readable texts provide balanced overviews. Primary-source materials include archival maps, photos, reproductions, letters, and speeches that are examined in context. Sojourner Truth, in particular, does a nice job of explaining the difficulties associated with writing a history of a woman who could not, herself, read or write. This title also provides the most complete biographical material of the four. The two Lincoln titles contain some overlapping information but retain a distinct focus. There is little available for this audience specifically about the Calhoun-Randolph debate. Libraries looking for introductory or additional material on these topics will find these titles to be useful additions.-Deanna Romriell, Salt Lake City Library, UT Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.

This title documents the main congressional debate over whether or not the United States should become involved in the military conflict with England that would later be known as the War of 1812. It provides biographical information that shows how John Randolph and John Calhoun came to hold their respective position, and outlines the issues that led to our conflict with England. It reveals the political maneuverings of the so-called War Hawks, Randolph's votes, and details how the arguments on both sides held up against the realities of the conflict. Includes excerpts from congressional records.
