This is a pretty nice survey book of American history. I haven't read it cover to cover yet but I have flipped through it from time to time and I have always liked what I read. And I'm a huge fan of Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. so I'm not surprised I enjoy this.

This almanac gives us a wealth of information about the dealings of American History from a complete historical perspective.

This almanac which would be a non circulating almanac in the high school library is a must have for people trying to gain a greater understanding of American History.
