"The documents included in the textbook are exceptional. They reflect a diversity of sources and perspectives and are introduced pedagogically in a variety of ways."
— T.J. Tomlin,
University of Northern Colorado "This book does what we have been trying to do in the classroom for years and does it in a way that will make you want to actually use the textbook instead of just asking students to read it."
— Uzoamaka Anyiwo,
Curry College "This is a well-written, consistent text with excellent integrated primary source documents and exercises."
— Gabrielle Everett,
Jefferson College "This concise, highly readable survey offers the unusual advantage of drawing the student's attention to documents that reflect the broad diversity of American experience and have been chosen with great care to convey the sense that history cannot be understood from a single perspective."
— David Noon, University of Alaska Southeast
