theYoungerMrsWarde Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I don't know about the books, but if you don't know there is a BBC show based on HH that is awesome! A few people have most of the 4 series available in 9:00 chunks. Here is the first one. You can also search by bits/sketches if you know what to look for. But there is much more British history than American history. I think the American sketches were only about the pilgrims, cowboys, and a little bit of the civil war.

Dolphin Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Horrible Histories USA Perilous Pirates might have some early US stuff as well as Pirates and Plunder Barmy British Empire might hit some early US stuff too. For the most part, other than British history there is just one book. Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Incas, etc.... They are fantastic books. The DVD is great. We have the first season, my son loves it. We are ordering season 2 in the september 9th Horrible Ray order. http://www.horriblebooks.com/ He converts it to a US DVD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Corin Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 A book of American history written by a non-American may well have a different slant. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
