I've got the fifth edition of this, which may be better, but this is an excellent source of primary source documents for anyone taking an American history class. I'd highly recommend it. It definitely serves the intended purpose.

One of the most tedious books I've ever read... :P

[Espresso · Rating 4 out of 5]

Some sections were very interesting, others were not so much. But what can you expect from a book with so many different sources?

[attempted · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was boring, mostly because I had to answer stupid questions.

There are quite a few bias' in here. I still think it was informative.
