The American Journey: a History of the United States, Volume 1 (To 1877) (7th Edition)

Frames American history through personal and collective journeys

Offering a blend of political and social histories, The American Journey shows that our attempt to live up to our American ideals is an ongoing journey–one that has become increasingly more inclusive of different groups and ideas. With a goal of making American history accessible, the authors offer a strong, clear narrative and provide students with the tools they need to understand history.

A better teaching and learning experience
This program will provide a better teaching and learning experience–for you and your students. Here’s how:

• Personalize Learning — MyHistoryLab is an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program. It helps students prepare for class and instructor gauge individual and class performance.
