About This Textbook:

A History of the United States Vol. 1 by David Trowbridge is an engaging, accessible narrative that makes American history (before 1865) come alive and bridges the gap between academia and your students. It does more than cover the basic timeline of events students need to be familiar with; it provides opportunities to read about history from a variety of perspectives and appeals to students of diverse backgrounds and abilities. Trowbridge made a concerted effort to reach students where they live, regardless of whether they have already discovered a love for history or they are just about to.
