We like this US history book. It is especially helpful because it has a companion text, Guide to the Essentials for my daughter who is an ESL student. It covers the basics, tries to make connections between cultures as well as giving students ample opportunity to review and write about related topics. It is not perfect, as it has its biases. What history book doesn't? It is a good text.

I am using this book at a public school after transferring form a private school with an excellent History teach who could add endless information on top of our old text book. This book is horrible at a true image of history; it idolizes America and its major political figures. It places emphasis in areas that do not need it does not make connections to today's world as the title would imply. I have even found some factual errors in the book such as saying that Lincoln was an abolitionist (he wasn't for those that think he was). As I said before the book really gives you the fluffy happy history of America and makes us always seem like a saint county that is the best. When I read books like this it makes me wonder how people can criticize other countries for censoring text books. [...]

It had been suggested by another mom to check out Amazon.com for a duplicate history book for student to have at home for two reasons. One to keep from having to carry the heavy book back and forth from school and second to have your own book you can make notes in margin, highlight, etc. So it was the perfect solution for my daughther!!

Having being taught only the "Mr. Rogers" version of American history by my previous teachers (the Revolutionary War started with the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776), I found this book very disagree able. Then, of course, I realized that we had to hand a nice, happy, packaged to Americas young ones.
The book digs into the top soil of American history. It gives general happenings, events leading up to and following wars, and reactions to wars off the battlefield. It labels some of the key events in history as being "Turning Points" and devotes a section in chapter to these happenings.
This is a great resource for teaching freshman and sophomore American history and you are hearing this straight from a student himself.

most history books are pretty dry, but this one teaches me. i actually do learn the history of america from a concise text.
