Early settlers on America’s east coast encountered the frontier of a vast new land. Pioneers moved the frontier farther and farther west. Americans pushed into frontiers of exploration, invention, and technology. In this full color, hardcover, approximately 690-page text, students follow American history through the formation, growth, and struggle of the nation. Sidebars and extra nuggets of fascinating information, along with “perspective boxes,” sharpen students’ understanding and view of history. Several study and discussion questions conclude each section in the textbook.
