DESCRIPTION
This thoroughly researched account of the Mason–Dixon Line encompasses a broad span of time and place, from sixteenth-century England to twentieth-century America. Walker, who wrote the Sibert Award winner Secrets of a Civil War Submarine (2005), opens with generations of the Calvert and the Penn families in England, leading up to their founding the colonies of Maryland and Pennsylvania. After many border disputes, a commission hired Englishmen Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon to set the boundary between the colonies. Using their skills in astronomy, mathematics, and surveying, they completed the task in 1768. One interesting section of the book involves the negotiations necessary before Mason and Dixon could extend their survey into Native American territory. Illustrations include maps, period documents, and photos of sites and artifacts. Many students will find the text challenging to read, particularly the sections explaining the techniques and tools that Mason and Dixon used to determine the line’s exact location. Walker’s latest book offers a good deal of pertinent information on the subject at hand, as well as some interesting sidelights on American history. Grades 8-12
