America Interpreted, v.2: Since 1865 (Paperback)

A concise narrative text aimed at the mid-level US history student. The format combines and synchronizes the concept of a textbook with that of a reader by linking a basic narrative text with articles that both support and build upon the text. This combined format enables students to relate interpretation to narrative and exposes them to historical analysis in a meaningful way. Readers of this work should cover the factual information as they learn how historians abstract meaning from the past.
