Excellent summaries of facts, important names and dates, plus extensive reading lists and timelines. The first volume begins with English colonization of North America and extends to the Civil War and the Reconstruction era. The second volume surveys the late-nineteenth-century industrial growth in America, the twentieth century development of the U.S. as a world power, and contemporary economic, social, racial, and cultural issues.

This book takes a thorough, yet quick look at United States History. It starts out with the exploration of Europeans in the Americas, highlighting the first encounters with the Europeans and Indians. It discusses all major (and not so important) events for the reader. Its ninteen chapters ends with the Reconstruction Period. This book seems to be more of a resource for a research paper than a novel, but I was able to read it like a book by Dickens. It taught me things I didn't know and helped me to pass my History courses with A's. This book is great for educators and students alike. I really recommend this resource to all!
