More By John Davenport Grade 6 Up–Davenport describes how two Englishmen, Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, were hired in 1763 to survey and mark the ill-defined border between the British colonies of Pennsylvania and Maryland. He explains that this boundary became much more than a line on a map: " epitomized antagonism, suspicion, and separation. It… came to symbolize the divergent social, cultural, and economic paths taken by developing America." Background information on the founding of the two colonies, their commonalities such as the impetus for profit and the offering of religious freedom to non-Puritans, biographical narratives of the surveyors, and the drawing of the boundaries comprise the first five chapters. The rest of the book provides a concise summary of several decades of American history that centers around , including Westward expansion and the question of whether slavery would be allowed in the territories, the compromises of 1820 and 1850, and the Civil War. Black-and-white photos, reproductions, and maps appear throughout. This clearly written book presents quite a lot of history in a succinct and well-organized text.–Patricia Ann Owens, Wabash Valley College
