Out of Many: A History of the American People, Volume I

by John Mack Faragher, Daniel Czitrom

The Out of Many Teaching and Learning Classroom Edition brings together a wide array of assets to provide a completely integrated multimedia learning experience. This path breaking text weaves together the complex interaction of social, political, and historical forces that have shaped the United States and from which the American people have evolved by telling stories of people and of the nation and emphasizing that American history has never been the preserve of any particular region. The text's trademark continental approach has been expanded to incorporate a greater hemispheric perspective, while community and memory feature analyzes the role and the conflict of historical memory in shaping communities' understanding of the past. For individuals interested in United States history.

Got to read this for school so might as well log it for a book towards my goal, it's taking up so much reading time anyways.

if you can't use your class textbooks towards your reading challenge then what's even the point of college

This book was pretty average for me. It was very long, but very worth it. I read this volume whilst taking APUSH. It’s true that, at times (reading long amounts of this book and tirelessly taking notes on its content at 3 a.m.), I have loathed, sweat, bled, and toiled over this book. However, these were merely emotional responses to the plot, and I was experiencing frustrations over the fact that I was being forced to read it, rather than choosing to read it on my own. If I hadn't taken APUSH and had instead read Out of Many for some pleasurable light reading, then I would have loved it even more. I specifically enjoyed the many informational pictures and maps, hilarious and artistic political cartoons, and creatively titled chapter and section headings. I remember one day in our class when we talked about one section’s title for nearly half the time! It was something about comparing prostitutes with “The Sporting Life” in the 1800s, I believe. Anyway, this volume truly prepared me well for the A.P. United States History test that took place on May 5th, 2017. It included all the required information, plus some bits as well! This book truly exceeded my expectations I had when it was dropped noisily onto my desk last August. Now, as the school year is drawing to a close, I will be returning this book with sadness, as it was a loyal companion to my studies all year. This book has been with me to Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, and Colorado. I spent long hours paging through it on long car trips with my noisy family. I love this book, and would highly recommend it for your APUSH studies!!
