Product Description
Review
“The American Journey is the most engaging text that I have seen
recently. I appreciate the chronological organization of the text
and completely agree with the authors in regard to student’s
comprehension and retention.”
—CATHLEEN KOKEN, Pueblo Community College
“The greatest strengths include the primary sources, the level
of detail in the chapters, and the stories which draw the reader
in the beginning of the chapter.”
—ANDRIA CROSSON, University of Texas at San Antonio
“While cogent arguments come forth constantly in this text—
arguments that help illustrate the American story as a real journey
—this book is also full of excellent stories that teach the reader a great
deal about the living, breathing experience of being American.”
—DUKE RICHEY, University of North Texas
“The textbook does well in not only examining diversity but in placing
different groups into interaction with one another.”
—SUSANNA MICHELE LEE, North Carolina State University
“The regional balance is one of the strongest features of the Goldfield
text. It makes the point that many trends are national, but also explains
clearly how these trends varied in importance from region to region.”
—JOANN CARPENTER, Florida State College at Jacksonville

I bought his book to read a chapter or two for an American History exam at uni, but ended up reading the whole book because it was so interesting and well-written. It did take a while - it is about 1000 pages long, but it certainly was very enlightening reading. The lay-out of the book is lovely, the countless illustrations, photos, maps and diagrams have an album appeal, but at the same time it is the text that dominates, so you don't feel as if this is an illustrated children's book with a narrative of just the basic moments in history (as I find many illustrated editions tend to be). This is an extremely student friendly account of America's history, with Review Questions included at the end of each chapter to test your understanding, as well as a list of recommended books for further reading, and a Where to Learn More section, which tells you about various museums, festivals, monuments etc which have a place in US history.
