Summary
By special arrangement with the author and publisher, K12 is proud to offer a special four-volume Concise Edition of A HISTORY OF US, the award-winning and critically acclaimed series by Joy Hakim. The Concise Edition features the same lively, engaging,… story-driven prose as the original series. These textbooks are fun to read! K12's Concise Edition is designed to meet the needs of busy home educators as well as schools and classrooms, where time constraints can make it difficult to read all ten volumes in the original edition. This book-Volume A, the first of four volumes in the Concise Edition-tells the story of America from prehistory to 1800, including the lives of early Native Americans, the settlement of the thirteen colonies, and the American Revolution. K12's Concise Edition of A HISTORY OF US features many color illustrations and photographs, all new maps, charts, and graphs, helpful collections of important primary sources, and a glossary and index in each volume. "For those who want an overview of American history," says Joy Hakim, "my friends at K12 have made choices and helped create this new four-volume version. I'm very pleased with what they've done."
