Reviews

[Mary-Faith]

My American History textbook.

[Wanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

As far as text books go, I really enjoyed this one on American history. It has interesting side notes, and special pages that reveal more about little known facts in America's past. The writing is clear and orderly.

[Beth · Rating 4 out of 5]

For a textbook, this one does a pretty good job at approaching American history, from pre-contact to the end of Reconstruction, and covers a large amount of information in a fair and unbiased way. I appreciate that the authors consider the perspectives of Native Americans, as well as those who are typically marginalized and whose stories usually don’t make it into the narrative of history.
