Out Of Many: A History of the American People

by John Mack Faragher, Mari Jo Buhle, Daniel Czitrom

This edition of a ground-breaking book weaves together the complex interaction of social, political, and historical forces that have shaped the United States and from which “the American people” have evolved. It tells stories of people and of the nation and emphasizes that American history has never been the preserve of any particular region. Traditional turning points and watershed events are integrated with the stories of the nation's many diverse communities. The book's trademark “continental” approach incorporates great hemispheric perspective, while a strong theme of community and memory analyzes the role–and the conflicts–of historical memory in shaping communities' understanding of the past. For American history buffs.

The worst history textbook that I have ever read. I was incredibly disappointed when I had to read this for my class. I never want to see this book again. Please ignore if you are a history teacher, pick a different book.

This book is rich in content and the history it describes seems fair to me. It can be a good textbook, but not an interesting book...
