The Leading Facts of American History

Boston, U.S.A. Ginn & Company Publishers, 1897. Boston ,U.S.A. Ginn & Company Publishers (1897). Maroon Cloth over boards, leather spine. Gold lettering. Very Good/No DJ. Excellent overview of American history with enough detail to provide lots of jumping off points for further research. I use it for home schooling and am now assigning parts of it to my kids to read on their own. This book helped me condense all the important facts for writing lectures and gave me confidence I wasn't leaving out any major themes or events. I like that it takes a more traditional western-centric view and points out the benefits of the Industrial-Revolution, something today's textbooks fail to do. (Good Read, comment from a teacher).
