Series Review: Early American Wars Overall, this series would be a complement to an American history textbook. It offers interesting and diverse perspectives for students researching or looking to deepen their understanding of early American history. --Library Media Connection Book Review: Battle on the Plains Surprisingly in depth information that at first looks to be just an overview. Photographs and maps helpful in understanding this conflict. --Elizabeth Shawn, West Allegheny High School
