<p>American History: A Survey By Alan Brinkley</p>
<p>American Pageant is a good textbook. I don't know the publisher or author though.</p>
<p>Use Brinkley</p>
<p>american pageant is very good.</p>
<p>The National Experience</p>
<p>i didn't like american pageant... it was an easy read, but it's hard to put things together b/c it doesn't really give you the "main" ideas that you need for the AP exam. that was usually supplemented in class by my teacher.</p>
<p>My class used American Pageant and we had AMSCO which was good at putting the big pic together.</p>
<p>American Pageant by Bailey, and two other people. Oh yes, Kennedy.</p>
<p>I loved that book. So funny. I wanted to keep it but I don't have $70 something dollars.</p>
<p>American Pageant is very good. I remember a chapter where they were talking about nuns and girls showing their ankles which were supposedly "proposterous" i had a good laugh at that (i wrote on the textbook with a pencil lightly so i could find things, and i wrote a message for the next person, haha) I don't know what that was about but i just remember it being humorous..</p>
<p>Haha I loved the American Pageant. My class was the last one with that set of text books so they had to buy a new set. I told the teacher she should get the new edition of the American Pageant, but she didn't listen to me. They got "The American Experience" or something instead. Lame. </p>
<p>They wouldn't let me buy a copy of the American Pageant unless I payed 70 bucks. I don't even know what they did with them-- probably threw them out.</p>
<p>My favorite line that I can remember was when they called Truman "a scrappy little cuss." </p>
<p>Point is, it's a good textbook.</p>
