The American journey

de Joyce Oldham Appleby, PhD, James M. McPherson, Alan Brinkley

American history is people, events, places, documents, art, inventions, literature. In other words -- American history is everything about the adventures of all Americans -- past and present. Only by learning about your nation's past can you understand what it means to be an American today. The American Journey helps you learn about your nation's past by organizing its history around 10 themes. - p. xvi.
