Review: America Past and Present, Volume I

User Review  - Heather - Goodreads

I used this during my years in college and it definitely was helpful. It provides a healthy overview of American history. Of course it does not go in depth, but that's because it is a textbook. It's a great reference and starting off point. Read full review
