This review is from: History of the United States of America, from the discovery of the continent, Volume I. (Paperback)

It is refreshing to see real history come forth again. We have seen so much revisionism in our schools that most have forgotten where we really came from and why we are here.
This book and one other, The "Christian Life and Character of our Civil Institutions of the United States" should be mandatory reading by all students.
