"I continue to assign The American Promise because my students continue to be successful with it. Students understand more, it keeps their attention better, and it is easier to study from and review from for exams than most other texts I have used"
— Mark Stephens, Las Positas College
"The narrative shows students that individual lives are important in history. The personal approach is appealing and shows students that they are also part of history."
— Marjorie Berman, Red Rocks Community College
"I like how The American Promise injects personal first hand accounts within the reading. It adds a quality of familiarity that students can readily identify or connect with."
— John Elder, University of Central Oklahoma
