An American History (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798349621024)

David Muzzey's American History is a vintage high school textbook originally published in 1911 with updated editions through 1929. This edition is a revised edition from 1923 that covers the Great War and the Wilson Administration.

This textbook remains valuable as a narrative of American history before the ideological influences of the mid 20th century academy. Muzzey focuses on American leadership, circumstances, and consequential choices made in the history of our country while framing the particular circumstances of those choices. He offers analysis and opinion, but his own political concerns are far enough removed from our own that they are uniquely refreshing, respectful, and constructive. Muzzey illustrates the Western, European origins of the American identity and institutions in a time where these aspects were taken for granted and not controversial.

This work is intended for education and for pleasure. It is well suited as a high school textbook, and has companion volumes of curriculum and assessments also from Tall Men Books. Look for Readings in American History, by George Bagby, Readings in American History: Teacher's Edition, by George Bagby, and Assessments for American History, by George Bagby.

This volume is complete with maps, illustrations, an annotated and complete Constitution of the United States with all amendments, and notes. Each chapter includes suggested readings for additional information and is valuable for term paper assignments. Additional editorial notes are included.

This volume has been formatted and edited for publication for Tall Men Books. It is not a facsimile reprint.
