This Country of Ours

Rating:
Summary: Poor research
Review: I was intrigued by this book because of the glowing reports I read about it on several homeschooling websites. The entire text is available online, so I thought I would read a section to get a feel for how it is written. I chose a subject that I have done a great deal of research on, and was amazed that hardly a sentence in the entire section was correct. It was full of misinformation, long discredited theories and even character slander. I am very disappointed both in the book and in the websites that are recommending it.

Summary: Feel Proud to be an American
Review: This a wonderful book to read to children or to read yourself. It tells the history of this Country of Ours in story form. This makes the reading of it very fun and exiting. The book also includes some wonderful drawings in color. Don't miss. It will make you proud to be an American.

Review: This is a great book. I am homeschooling and am using this book for supplemental history for my eight and eleven year old. I love H. Marshall's style and would recommend this book to anyone who is tired of the dry textbook style of historical writings. You will not be disappointed. Beautiful engravings also.
