Out of Many: A History of the American People, Volume I: To 1877 (3rd Edition)

This text weaves together the complex interaction of social, political and historical forces that have shaped the United States and from which "the American people" have evolved by telling stories of people and of the nation and emphasizing that American history has never been the preserve of any particular region. Traditional turning points and watershed events are integrated with the stories of the nation's many diverse communities.
