For young researchers of American history, the volumes in author-photographer Raymond Bial's new series would be helpful. Each volume is an overview of life in America, both in a geographic area and time span. Cow Towns covers the period of the great cattle drives from parts of Wyoming and Nebraska, south to the tip of Texas. Frontier Settlements includes movement toward the Mississippi River; Longhouses explains Native American settlements in the northeastern United States; and Missions and Presidios covers the missions of Florida, Texas, New Mexico, and California. Colorful photographs from living history museums give a glimpse of life during that period. Explanations are given for movements within the United States during those periods in history. Building methods are also covered. Not much information is given on the life of children during those periods, but they are included in the photographs. Maps are included in each volume, as well as informative captions for the photos. Glossary. Timeline. Index. Recommended.
