About the author

McGraw-Hill Education traces its history back to 1888 when James H. McGraw, co-founder of the company, purchased the American Journal of Railway Appliances. He continued to add further publications, eventually establishing The McGraw Publishing Company in 1899. His co-founder, John A. Hill, had also produced several technical and trade publications and in 1902 formed his own business, The Hill Publishing Company.

In 1909 both men agreed upon an alliance and combined the book departments of their publishing companies into The McGraw-Hill Book Company. John Hill served as President, with James McGraw as Vice-President. 1917 saw the merger of the remaining parts of each business into The McGraw-Hill Publishing Company, Inc.

very good book with vivid illustrations .much better than any other History book I read before , mainly because of its rich source of pictures , colorful pages , maps , and plain text .
I guess it's written for educating high school students ,( included parts like lab works, topics classified in various subjects ) ,so most of the events were explained in simple and understandable forms. Loved the neutral atmosphere in this book ; it felt as if the authors were observing the events from the third point of view without supporting either sides .
Recommending for the persons planning to read U.S. History for the first time . This book even has parts explaining some difficult words or new words . It may seem bit long (more than 800 pages) , but those pictures and maps take most of its space . I just kinda skimmed the last 400 pages in few hours . Smooooth and enjoyable reading :)
