Product Description

Review

“The American Journey is the most engaging text that I have seen

recently. I appreciate the chronological organization of the text

and completely agree with the authors in regard to student’s

comprehension and retention.”

—CATHLEEN KOKEN, Pueblo Community College

“The greatest strengths include the primary sources, the level

of detail in the chapters, and the stories which draw the reader

in the beginning of the chapter.”

—ANDRIA CROSSON, University of Texas at San Antonio

“While cogent arguments come forth constantly in this text—

arguments that help illustrate the American story as a real journey

—this book is also full of excellent stories that teach the reader a great

deal about the living, breathing experience of being American.”

—DUKE RICHEY, University of North Texas

“The textbook does well in not only examining diversity but in placing

different groups into interaction with one another.”

—SUSANNA MICHELE LEE, North Carolina State University

“The regional balance is one of the strongest features of the Goldfield

text. It makes the point that many trends are national, but also explains

clearly how these trends varied in importance from region to region.”

—JOANN CARPENTER, Florida State College at Jacksonville

Book Description

The American Journey, a cornerstone series for the U.S. History market, successfully blends the coverage of political and social histories of our great nation throughout the series. With this focus, the authors show that our attempt to live up to our American ideals is an ongoing journey. This journey, while still a work in progress, is increasingly more inclusive of different groups and ideas.

The path that led the authors to The American Journey began in the classroom with their students. The goal of this text is to make American history accessible to students. The key to that goal--the core of the book--is a strong, clear narrative and a positive theme of The American "Journey." American history is a compelling story that the authors tell in an engaging, forthright way, while providing students with tools to help them absorb that story and put it into context. This text combines political and social history, to fit the experience of particular groups into the broader perspective of the American past, to give voice to minor and major players alike, because the history of America is in the stories of its people.
