Book Reviews of Portrait of America, Vol. 2: From 1865
Book Review: Interesting collection...
Summary: 3 Stars
This is an interesting collection of historical essays for my American History II class. This book gets a pass because it was one of the cheapest school books I had to buy this semester. Any flaws are acceptable in light of how reasonably priced it was.
Summary of Portrait of America, Vol. 2: From 1865
Portrait of America is an anthology of essays written by some of America's most eminent historians. Suitable for U.S. history survey courses, the collection maintains a loose biographical focus. The essays in this secondary-source reader humanize American history by portraying it as a story of real people with whom students can easily identify. More than 20 percent of the essays in the Ninth Edition are new. Each selection is preceded by an introduction for context, and a helpful glossary identifies important individuals, events, and concepts. Study questions follow each selection, prompting students to make comparisons between the readings.United States Books
