This item has been replaced by American Experiences, Volume 1, 7/E.

This collection of secondary readings, written by a variety of authors, emphasizes social history through the use of high-interest readings that illuminate important aspects of America's past.

American Experiences shows the complexity and richness of the nation's past by focusing on the people themselves—how they coped with, adjusted to, or rebelled against America. The readings examine people as they worked and played, fought and loved, lived and died.

This collection offers secondary readings written by multiple authors about a wide variety of social-oriented topics. A large number of selections allows instructors many choices.

Popular culture and high-interest topics have been chosen because of their appeal to students.

Each essay serves two purposes: to tell a particular story well, and to help illuminate the social or political landscape of America.

Volume I has 10 new readings, including readings on Daniel Boone, Folklore, and P.T. Barnum.
