Publisher's Synopsis
The Milestones in American History series introduces students to seminal events in American history that helped shape the nation. From the illuminating discoveries of Thomas Edison to the landmark dissolution of racial segregation, each book presents a three-dimensional look at a particular event and those people who not only played an integral part in making it significant, but were also ultimately affected by its consequences. Bolstered by biographical sketches, extensive photographs, excerpts from primary source documents, and first-person narratives, this curriculum-based series is ideal for students writing reports.
