Grade 7-10-The battles that centered around the Hudson River and Saratoga during the Revolutionary War were crucial for control of the Canadian border and upper New York State. Each chapter focuses on the events leading up to British General Burgoyne's surrender. The various styles of paintings and sketches used to depict specific events throughout this time period enhance the somewhat stifling text that tends to be confusing, dry, and choppy. The chronology does aid in the understanding of the book as a whole. Additional information boxes explain certain ideas and people in deeper detail, but don't help the overall presentation. Most of the books listed for further reading are out of print; almost all of them are adult titles. There is no bibliography, and quotes are not documented. Marginal, at best.
No other mirrors, please!
