From School Library Journal:

Grade 4-6-Well-written biographies of men noted for their exploration of the American West. Both individuals lived in the early 19th century and were known for their daring exploits and bravery during battles. The explorers' failures as well as their successes are dealt with evenhandedly. The books contain many interesting drawings and photos in color and in black and white of people and scenes. Although they are shorter than titles in the "World's Great Explorers" series (Children's), these volumes will be useful for reports.
