Great Book

I have reviewed several history books to use for homeschooling my two kids. I had copy of this US history textbook and several other comparable US history textbooks. I found that when I wanted a really good explanation of a time period or concept, I always seemed to go back to this book. I did end up buying a second copy of this textbook for my other kid. I donated all the other history textbooks I had. This book is the only one you will need. Btw. I home school 8th and 9th graders and neither one of them have any trouble understanding this book. It explains concepts in plain English and the best part is ....unlike all the other history textbooks I reviewed....this one isn't "long winded". It gives a really good explanation and details then moves on. There isnt a bunch of unnecessary elaborating. Dont get me wrong though it gives you enough info so you get a through understanding. It just doesn't get mundane and boring by over explaining topics.
