“The inclusion of images as documents is well executed and encourages students to consider history in a visual way. This is important in an age where more and more people are visually motivated and connected.”
— Anne Lindsay, University of Central Florida
“America Firsthand features a great variety of primary sources that offer unusually diverse perspectives on the main themes of United States history. Classic texts complement fresh, less familiar sources; visual sources are provocative and engaging additions. Thoughtful and thought-provoking questions help students think critically about the past and enhance their understanding.”
