A History of the United States and Its People is the third book in Edward Eggleston's history textbook series. You won't find political correctness or revisionism here--just solid American history. And more than that, you get a book aimed at making the teacher's job easy, while at the same time stimulating the student's interest. Eggleston does this with a wealth of features like:
  • Arrangement by topic so the student sees cause and effect clearly
  • Study questions to aid students in mastering the facts in each chapter
  • Study by topics: essay questions that can be used for written or oral discussion
  • Fill-in exercises after many chapters
  • Liberal use of maps as a teaching tool which helps the student master geography as well as history
  • Suggestions for diagrams, reviews and other blackboard exercises
  • Scores of illustrations by some of the best artists and engravers of the time
  • Big 17 page index

No question. Eggleston's easy-does-it technique allows teachers and parents to teach history with proficiency and allows students to savor and comprehend the facts and lessons of America's history.
