From School Library Journal:
Grade 4-6-- Herda attempts to give a broad overview of the major ethnic groups that have settled in these areas and the problems they have faced. Native American, European, black, and Hispanic experiences are included; Northeastern also has a chapter on Asians. These discussions are highly repetitious from one volume to the other, without any real focus on the region under discussion. Northeastern mentions that the 1830 Indian Removal Act forced all the tribes there to move west of the Mississippi; but the five tribes listed are all from the Southeast, which is not pointed out to readers. Likewise, Southeastern tells from which countries Europeans emigrated in the early 1800s, and then mentions that they settled mainly in the Northeast. Material is so abbreviated as to be incorrect. The Seminoles did fight a war with the U. S. beginning in 1816, but it was not the costly one that lasted seven years, as is implied. Some information is wrong--Miami is 150 miles from Cuba, not 90 miles ( Southeastern ); Islam, not Muhammadanism, is the proper term for the Eastern religion (also Southeastern ). The full-color photographs are often grainy, fuzzy, and inappropriate. Rather than rely on these books, students should glean material from the balanced, factual ``The Indians of North America'' series (Chelsea) and the ``In America'' series (Lerner), which focus on specific ethnic groups for slightly older audiences. --Diane S. Marton, Arlington County Library, VA
