Good Book, very factual and historical. I'm only in the middle of it... but it's great! Read it late at night whilst your Dog Howls in the back yard!

I am very impressed with this book.  My daughter loves it.  It gives a really interesting historical view of each state.  For the middle school age student, I think this is a super book.  It is quite detailed, inlcuding the state song, tree, mammal, bird, and many other "state items".  I am discovering many of the other publications by Cindy Barden and appreciate her work.  The activities included to help the student to "dig a little deeper" are great!

I enjoyed this book VERY much. Read it cover to cover. I find it funny on here how people by a history book about a particular person or event, then complain and give it one or two stars because it was a detailed HISTORY book about that person or event (go figure). If you want to know the life of Jedediah Smith, his travels, experiences, good, bad and detailed, then this book is for you!

Great book! It provided me with the information that I was looking for and is an easy read. Not every book has all of the information that you may need, but it is definitely a good start.

As a tutor for students who have this history book as a required textbook is the main reason I bought this book is to have it on hand in case they might forget to carry this 10 # book home!  It is very complete and filled with pictures and sidelines to add to the fun of learning history.
I recommend it for classrooms or if you enjoy learning more about American History!  It sure covers things in history that we did not get in our history books during the 70's.  I like the timelines for the different time periods too!
Best I've used so far !

This is a really great book! What happened eons ago affects us now. I was looking for such a book for a long time so when I bumped into it while cruising around Amazon, I went for it. This gives the basics in a chronological, fun yet scholarly way. I'm only on page 36 and can't put the book down. It fills in so many gaps in my knowledge.

With what is happening in Palestine and the rest of the Middle East (Near East), this book is a must-read, not that it's only about the Middle East. This book is about Europe, the Far East, the Near East, Africa, and a little on the Americas.

I suppose from the Middle East's point of view, Europe is the Near West and the Americas are the Far West.
