摘要
This fascinating series explores the experiences of specific groups in American history -- focusing on daily life, work, and traditions. Full-color illustrations give readers a realistic and close-up look at early American homes, clothing styles, equipment, and landscapes. Excerpts from letters, journals, and biographies -- as well as recipes, songs, and sayings -- augment the text.

Gr 3-6-A book that is similar to Bobbie Kalman's "Early America" series (Crabtree), but one that is easier to read and more concise. Each double-page chapter consists of a few short paragraphs of text, an information box, and a full-color illustration that often covers 3/4 of the spread. Quotes from pioneers' diaries and verses from songs add a personalized touch. Old-time remedies, games, and recipes are appended. The hardships, as well as the good times, are presented in an informative and entertaining manner. A good supplement to American history units.-Norma Hunter, Fair Grove Elementary/Middle School Library, MO (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.

Kirkus评论
In the American Pastfinder series, a portrait of life on a midwestern farm during the Great Migration in the first part of the 19th century. Each spread contains a couple of paragraphs on a specific topic: ``The Great Migration,'' ``Sodbusting,'' ``Building a Home,'' ``Clothing,'' ``Home Remedies,'' ``Sodbuster Celebrations,'' ``A Day on the Farm: Morning,'' and so on. The background for each discussion is a large, detailed watercolor scene of the farm (pale greens and browns predominate); in some cases, the pictures are labeled, becoming diagrams. In addition, each text is supplemented by a quote from a document from the era: letter, newspaper, almanac, or lines from a poem. The whole is highly informative and vital, engaging simply by virtue of the variety of information that it presents. A nice piece of work. (glossary, index) (Nonfiction. 9-12)
