Foundations of Our Nation shows the development of the important events of the American Revolution, The Boston Tea Party and The Declaration of Independence. Each book in the series contains a table of contents, important dates, a stop and think section, glossary, index, learn more section and an about the author section. The books are also set up to be easy on the eyes and engaging for all types of readers with simple terminology and details. In every text Rissman provides a description of the start of the event, an important climax of events, and the turning point. The books have pictures that support the details throughout the text and give the readers a better insight on that time period. The author also provided sections of ‘further evidence’ to provide students with more information. Overall the books give students a new perceptive and are engaging for a extensive range of readers.

Highly Recommend.
