A History of the United States
Charles Kendall Adams, historian and president of the University of Wisconsin, and William P. Trent, professor of English literature at Columbia, wrote this one-volume history for American schools. It begins with the American Indians, the pre-Columbian voyages and the Spanish, French and English explorers, follows the colonies, the Revolution and the making of the Constitution, and continues administration by administration through the Civil War and Reconstruction to the presidencies of McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. Maps, chronological tables, summaries and the text of the Constitution support the narrative. It shows how the nation's history was taught to students at the start of the twentieth century.
