Review # 1 was written on 2016-02-26 00:00:00 Amung Pa This was one of my favorite volumes in this series. The Reconstruction of America focused on humanitarian efforts and progress including the railroads, coal mining, industrialization, child labor, poets, writers, immigrants, minority rights, progress and peoples ideas of ideals. As always, a nice overview for middle graders to get interested in history.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-08-08 00:00:00 Front Pocket I think everyone should read this right now. This volume corresponds so perfectly to the struggles and issues of America today- systemic racism, women's rights, immigration, states rights vs. federal control, voter suppression, the growing pains of modernization. It simply couldn't be a more important time to reflect on this period in American history. The series is aimed for middle grade readers, so the chapters are short, and the writing is engaging, with a lot of focus on the lives of important figures. Seriously- check it out. Read it to your kids, or read it to yourself. You will not be sorry.
