Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 4-6-- The cover sketch, in lurid color, of a train holdup is sure to attract readers' attention. However, over half of the brief text is given to illustrations, and the large type and wide leading further limit the content of this minimalist, easy-reading account of the life and career of the infamous outlaw. The authors transcribe accepted facts and do not moralize. --George Gleason, Department of English, Southwest Missouri State University, Springfield

This review is from: Jesse James (Outlaws and Lawmen of the Wild West) (Library Binding)

The revised edition of JESSE JAMES joins others volumes in the 'Outlaws and Lawmen of the Wild West' series, offering a little over forty pages of facts on Jesse James and his life and times. The lively history reads almost like fiction and is colored with fine drawings and vintage period photos, making for a pick for grades 5-9.
