About this title

From Booklist:

The Story of the United States series presents the history of America in short, declarative sentences that cover a broad scope of topics and events, some of which overlap between the generously illustrated volumes. The turn of the twentieth century is covered in The Rise of Industry, which addresses industrialization, unions, and the Spanish-American War. Since each volume encompasses several decades in less than 50 pages, no one topic is covered in very much detail, and some pivotal events and people are skipped altogether, yet each book in the series expands its focus by linking to a variety of multimedia resources and primary documents, with ample Common Core–linked questions for further discussion. A useful launching point for further exploration of U.S. history. Grades 4-6. --Sarah Hunter
