History book

The book is in perfect condition, but it was just so expensive. $80 for a book? But I had to get it.

Good US History text

We like this US history book. It is especially helpful because it has a companion text, Guide to the Essentials for my daughter who is an ESL student. It covers the basics, tries to make connections between cultures as well as giving students ample opportunity to review and write about related topics. It is not perfect, as it has its biases. What history book doesn't? It is a good text.

A Great Stepping Stone

Having being taught only the "Mr. Rogers" version of American history by my previous teachers (the Revolutionary War started with the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776), I found this book very disagree able. Then, of course, I realized that we had to hand a nice, happy, packaged to Americas young ones.The book digs into the top soil of American history. It gives general happenings, events leading up to and following wars, and reactions to wars off the battlefield. It labels some of the key events in history as being "Turning Points" and devotes a section in chapter to these happenings.This is a great resource for teaching freshman and sophomore American history and you are hearing this straight from a student himself.

i do learn from this book

most history books are pretty dry, but this one teaches me. i actually do learn the history of america from a concise text.
