Review # 1 was written on 2009-12-23 00:00:00 Michael Kierpaul Overall, I was dissapointed in this book. It seemed to focus too much on the prehistory of why we needed the railroad rather then the actual times that it was being constructed. More illustrations would have made this a much easier to read reference book for young readers. Grade 6 and up will use this much more than younger kids. There has to be a better resource book out there that covers this information.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-02-22 00:00:00 James Allen Outstanding historical work that is written for children. The historical facts have been extensively researched and the information of famous African Americans amazing. The illustrations are fabulous while the book will be a family heirloom.
