A Child's First Book of American History

This illustrated history follows the American national story from Viking settlement through the atomic age in fifty narrative chapters designed for young readers, with illustrations by James Daugherty. This telling of the American story is dramatic, ever engrossing—and it is based on careful scholarship. The more than 200 illustrations by James Daugherty—most of them in color—are an integral part of the book. A great artist and a superb scholar-storyteller have joined forces to produce a memorable and heart-warming book about the country we love.
