Series Review: Pioneer Spirit: The Westward
Expansion.
"This series
uses old and new photographs of people and historic sites along with period
paintings to introduce the topics in each book. ... Struggling readers will find
these books easier than some on the same topics. ... Information is laid out
clearly and follows the chronological order of most Social Studies textbooks. ...
Recommended."
