This book is very well-written. The book has chapters around 20 pages long, but with lots of helpful pictures and maps mixed in. We recently moved to Missouri and I wanted to learn about the history in the area and then take appropriate field trips. This curriculum has worked out perfectly. This also touches on American history as it fits together. My daughter is 7, but this book is challenging and could easily be used on up through 6th grade or with different age groups together. I highly recommend the activity book to go with it. The activity book contains a page to take notes from each chapter, vocabulary, critical thinking worksheets, and a test for each chapter. I am not a history buff, but I am enjoying this book, too!

We are using this text book, and the accompaning workbook, for our homeschool studies of our home state of Missouri. This is a fairly good textbook for the subject. It does start with Early Americans--meaning Indians, and also discussed Columbus and other Explorers who found America...this was all review from our US History studies. It did go into more detail about the specific Indians that lived in our area, which is good...but a good portion of the first couple of chapters we just skimmed over. I will say this is the best book on the subject that I found!
