Book Overview
Recommended by the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts and Literacy as an exemplary informational text. Beginning with George Washington's inauguration and continuing into the nineteenth century, The New Nation tells the story of the remarkable challenges that the freshly formed United States faced. Thomas Jefferson's purchase of the Louisiana Territories (bought from France at a mere four cents an acre ), Lewis and Clark's daring expedition through this wilderness, the War of 1812 a.k.a. "Revolutionary War, Part II," Tecumseh's effort to form an Indian confederacy, the growth of Southern plantations, the beginning of the abolitionist movement, and the disgraceful Trail of Tears are just a few of the setbacks, sidetracks, and formidable tasks put in the new nation's path. Master storyteller Joy Hakim weaves these dramatic events and more into a seamless tale that's so exciting, how could it be true? But it is- it's A History of US.

Wonderful History of Us Companion
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
The teaching guide is a wonderful companion to the History of Us book. It enables the teacher to get the "Big Idea" across to the students, utilizing critical thinking, rather than looking for the memorization of facts.

I was just replacing my daughter's textbook from school (it met with an unfortunate end!) but I got hooked reading this book. Fascinating, I don't doubt the entire series is just as good.
Great for home schooling
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
I think that this book has been a life saver for our homeschool history needs. It is written at a level my 5th grader understands and sparks many conversations that I had not expected to have until high school history. It has sparked his interest to learn more about the people and places of history. I love the shorter sentences and all of the thinking questions. Even the chapters are short so we can take one step at a time. It defines words that he would have asked about in the margin and gives great pronunciations to difficult words and people's names. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read history with their child
