4.0 out of 5 stars
Well Balanced Read,
This review is from: The Amazing Voyage of the New Orleans (Hardcover)
A well written narrative of American history.The drawings seem realistic and complimentary. The book's material is not covered in school text books but should be. The development of America and the demise of American Indians. A very quick read with a lot of well placed information. This type of book read by a grade school person will probably create a desire to learn more. With many aspects it is unlikely there would not be one or more areas for additional reading.
