《学校图书馆杂志》(School Library Journal)书评
Gr 6 UpThese three books, based on the PBS series, could essentially be incorporated into one volume. Prior knowledge of the West and its history may be helpful; however, the material is so well presented and illustrated (chiefly with archival photographs and reproductions) that novices, scholars, or browsers can dip in anywhere and emerge with useful impressions and/or information. While some of the same ground is covered in a multitude of titles, the presentation is fresh and greatly enlivened by the visuals that appear on every page. For example, The West includes a shot of the copper smelter in Butte, MT, and the statement that surrounding hills were stripped of trees for fuel to fire the furnacesthis happened in many of the mining towns. In addition, coverage is not limited to the famous folks usually written about; instead, photo coverage is given to real people of various ethnic groups. These volumes are a real achievement; they are sure to inform, entertain, and invite further investigation on the subject.George Gleason, Department of English, Southwest Missouri State University, Springfield (c) Copyright 2010.

Introductions by Stephen Ives and Ken Burns. These three companion volumes to the PBS television series 'The West' introduce children to the dramatic events that led to the settlement of the West, as well as some of the individuals whose collective experiences help illuminate the time and place in which they lived. The lucidly written, engaging titles are profusely illustrated with period photographs, presenting a broad rather than comprehensive history of the West in words and pictures. Bib., ind.

Gr. 5 and up. With two other photo-essays, The West and The Gold Rush, this companion volume to the PBS documentary series is a fine introduction to the history of the West.
