American Destiny: Narrative of a Nation, Concise Edition, Volume 1 (to 1877) (Second printing) (3rd Edition)

With the political history of the nation as its organizational framework, American Destiny: Narrative of a Nation describes the development and growth of the United States as the product of the myriad actions, ideas, and forces of the immense variety of individuals and groups who together comprise the American people.
