DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from A Syllabus of United States History, 1492-1920 This syllabus is an evolution from an outline of Bassett's Short His tory of the United States, prepared as an aid in teaching an introductory course in United States history at Ohio State University. In giving the syllabus the present form, it seems desirable to explain that while Pro fessor Bassett's text remains the basis, and the page notations through out the body of the syllabus refer to it, considerable liberty has been taken in rearranging the subject matter for class discussion. It has been our practice in assigning collateral reading to allow students to select two entire volumes each semester from the American Statesmen and American Crisis series of biographies, but the inclusion of reference lists at the close of each main division of the syllabus will easily make possible an alternative plan of reading. The classification of references und'er Other texts, General accounts, Topical readings, and Additional topics calls for no comment, except that the numerals preceding the topical references correspond with the subdivisions of the outline. The list of books cited is rigidly minimized, in order to come well within the limitations of small libraries, and because about half of our students are Freshmen for whom excellent treatises are sometimes obviously unsuited. A full list of books cited will be found at the close of the syllabus. The body of the syllabus directs the student's attention to a few important documents in parenthetical references to readings. To minimize expense Brown's Epoch-making Papers has been used, but the term, readings, will permit those who wish to place more stress on documents to use a larger source book.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSince its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKFor the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
