<p>I took APUSH last year and we read American Nation.</p>
<p>Yeah, we used Garraty’s The American Nation too.</p>
<p>Pageant, and it sucks. Were barely on ch 16.
Brinkley’s is much shorter and better</p>
<p>We used Brinkley last year. I thought it was decent, but my history teacher hated it.</p>
<p>enduring vision…last year it was bailey</p>
<p>I kind of like American Pageant. It has some goofy things that caught me off guard while I was reading. Someone highlighted a sentence in my book that called Napoleon a ‘prince of liars’. =P I found that kind of funny.</p>
<p>Just curious, what edition does everyone have? I own a really tattered eleventh edition.</p>
<p>Brinkely 12th edition (newest one). We are about to start Ch. 15</p>
<p>We also from time to time use Howard Zinn’s “A People’s History of the United States”</p>
<p>I have Pageant 12th edition. My school is getting all new textbooks, but they have to last 15-20 years. Ah well, at least I get updated info…</p>
<p>pageant…am on ch. 22 or 23…thestudy guides are terrible…after doing 15 study guide chapters and getting getting Ds Cs and Bs(oscassional A), my friend told me that they are all online(the answers)…isnt it nice to have friends? wish he told me before.</p>
<p>Just Kidding! I have 13th edition of Pageant, not 12.</p>
<p>I used Pageant last year and am surprised to find so many haters… I liked it quite a bit.</p>
<p>“Slavery was a cancer in the bosom of the south” - best line ever.</p>
<p>We use America: A Narative History (By Tindall and Shi)</p>
<p>As well as supplimentary stuff from “Our Nation’s History” (a book of documents) and the Garraty Reader that has a collection of exercpts from various essays. </p>
<p>We also do outside reading. So far we’ve read “Jefferson” (biography on Thomas Jefferson), “Liberty and Power: The Politics of Jacksonian America” (only the first third), “Frederick Douglas” (his autobiography), and we have several more books that we’re going to read, but I don’t know what they’re called.</p>
<p>Ditto; I love Pageant! OK, they have some humorous quotes and metaphors, but the read seems almost “light” and “painless” as opposed to last year’s convoluted and dense Euro book (Kishlansky). I find it well organized and consistent as well.</p>
