This Country of Ours: The Story of the United States Volume 2: H. E. Marshall's "This Country of Ours" - Annotated, Expanded, and Updated
For many years, boys and girls have read "This Country of Ours" and its stories of the Americans. Now for a new generation of curious and wonderful readers, something more is provided with this version.
This is the story of people brought together not because they are of the same race or ethnicity or background or even a common journey here, but because they share belief in a core of ideas. Some of those ideas had to be forged in a fire before they were available to all, but they were American ideas still, and they were worthy of the struggle and worthy of the fight, to provide and protect that freedom for every American.
"This Country of The Story of the United States, Volume 2" is the history of America from the Pequot War of 1636 through the end of the American Revolutionary War in 1783. Donna-Jean A. Breckenridge has annotated, expanded, and updated H. E. Marshall's beloved history book for today's audience. Accurate tribal names, sources of quotes, pronunciation guides, and added and updated information tether this story to the historical record while maintaining the literary excellence of the original.

I learned so much from this book. I wish Donna Jean’s books had been available when I homeschooled my older kids so that I could read them twice!
