America: A Narrative History (Eighth Edition) (Vol. 2) door George Brown Tindall
Yes indeed its a text book. Though I may have not picked up on my own, even after the finishing my American history 101 class I found my self reading section of the book. Obviously very informative but also very interesting and a good book to have around for those that like explore and know about American history.
