Customer Reviews

Great Deal!

The book came on time and the deal was great. Easy to work with and had no problems. Highly recommended.

Inspect the actual evidence of history

Unlike most textbooks that give you revisionist "contemporary" history, this textbook avoids that for the most part. Clearly there is an interpretation it is trying to convey to you, however it does give you much of the source material to review for yourself. You cannot look at this textbook and its companion Volume 1 as a complete study of American history, but it is a valuable addition to any American History class.

Discovering Americas Past

Great book, great condition. This was a newer edition than what my Instructor was aware of. Works for class, thanks for the quick turn around time too.
