trudence1 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I'm looking for a textbook that covers Early American history up to (and possibly including) the Civil War. I would rather it didn't cover post-Civil War to modern times. This is for an advanced English language learner, not a child, so I am looking for something at about the 6th grade level or higher. Is there anything out there that would work for this? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kolamum Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 What about Landmark History? It's a bit dry, but for the grade you are working with it might work.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FawnsFunnyFarm Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 What about Hakim's A History of US, just use the books up to the point you want to stop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FawnsFunnyFarm Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Other options would be some vintage sets: Golden Book History of the United States or The Pictorial Encyclopedia of American History. You can find sets on Ebay for decent prices if you watch. Again just read the books up to the point you want to stop. I believe each of those 3 sets has a volume on the Civil War, you could stop right there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PagesandFields Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 I have both of the suggested and I'd recommend Hakim's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
