I have used this as a text for early and modern American history. It is a competent, bare bones history which can easily be supplemented with the teacher's additions. As a public domain document, it can be used as you like. I downloaded it onto my web site and organized it to match my assignments. Not much in the way of extras, but it wan't designed for that.

Technical Remarks:

None

Used in course? Yes

Time spent reviewing site: Used as text for several semesters.
