ReviewsWild History of the American West series. Published fall 2006. These books chronicle the history of three events that played major roles in the expansion and settlement of the American West. The readable texts are well researched and informative. The screen shots used to illustrate the books are blurry, but archival photographs, maps, and drawings add interest (a mistake in Cherokee's timeline is unfortunate). Chapter notes are appended.
