"This series pairs dramatic narrative with visually arresting time lines, resulting in a well-thought-out foray into the years of America's westward expansion. Chapters are six to 10 pages in length, and each begins with a chronology that takes up the top half of the spread. The books then go on to explain the events in more detail. The clear writing effectively demonstrates cause and effect. For instance, in Mexican-American War, the Battle of the Alamo is presented clearly as an outcome of long-simmering tensions between U.S. settlers in Mexican-controlled Texas. Throughout the series, red, white, and blue motif is used for time line demarcations and paragraph headings, giving the content a crisp, clean look and serving as a visual alert. Illustrations are serviceable, and all are captioned. Sources are not cited. VERDICT: A good option for collections where supplementary material on the American West is needed."--School Library Journal, Series Made Simple
--Journal"This book provides historical context on key events related to the construction of the American Transcontinental Railroad. The timeline format offers a visual overview to accompany the text"--Provided by publisher.
