KidHaven's Seeds of a Nation series provides an understanding of the people, events, and ideas that influenced the creation of each state. Each book looks at a state's history -- from the original inhabitants to the first explorers to reach the area, to settlement and statehood -- and contains four chapters, a glossary, facts about the state and an annotated bibliography.

"Each book in the Seeds of a Nation series presents the history of an area before it attained statehood. Most of the colorful photographs of sites and the other illustrations, including maps, paintings, and tinted engravings are well chosen to support the text. Those looking for pre-statehood history, though, will find these compact volumes useful."
