Third edition. The story of the United States told through well-written, vivid, short biographies and hundreds of period illustrations, etchings and photographs. The language is easily understandable when read to children down through the early elementary grades; the detail is of such a nature that the series can serve as a pleasant adult reference for American history.

Eleven Oversize Pb volumes, profusely illustrated.

1 out of 5 stars by NICOLE T on 2010-07-30
We will be returning these books after reading several reviews of them on the website called "The Textbook League". It is website that reviews public school textbooks. Here is a link to one of the three articles: http://www.textbookleague.org/121hakm.htm Further, why would Sonlight even offer a textbook that is used in a public schools? What happened to the theory of using great books to teach history? This set of 11 books is neither great nor a "book". It is a textbook, which in my opinion should be a swear word. by Nicole T. on 7-30-2010

My 14 year old son read these and has said it seem as if the books are based on one persons point of view. It seems to us there are discrepancies between Joy Hakim's books and other US History books. Information has been left out of her books vs. other books.

My 13/14-year-old daughter read these to herself and said, "I really liked reading these books. They helped me understand American history in a way that I never had before. Some chapters are boring, but most make history exciting or interesting. I like the way the author seems to be talking to me, and I like that there are so many pictures throughout the books."
