"It was nearly fifteen years ago that we conceived the idea of focusing the study of American history on students' own families as a way of making history more-accessible and meaningful. In this edition we have retained many of the features of the other editions, including chapters on the preindustrial age, the great migrations, plus an extensive Appendix. In response to suggestions of many instructors who have used the earlier editions, we have added new chapters on the 1920's, the 1960's, and the 1970's... We hope [this book] will continue to be useful in the classroom, and that even more people will discover the joys of relating their own personal past to the larger forces of history" -- Pref. |
