Review # 1 was written on 2014-06-16 00:00:00 Danny Baldwin This short history, written in 1900, was a nice, short trip through American history. While not the intent of the book, I was hoping to gain more insight into the 1900 view on US history. It turns out it's pretty much the same as the 2000 view of US history, with less emphasis on women and minorities. I listened to the Libravox version that was read by a women with a great Georgian accent, though she did have a hard time pronouncing several rivers and mountains.

Review # 2 was written on 2013-11-14 00:00:00 Dennis Bell It's not a well written book, by any means, but if you want an abridged version of US history, i recommend it. There are several events covered in the book that were ,certainly, never discussed in history class
