Selected internet readings
Both The American Pageant and Literature editions are out of print and must be ordered online. These books usually cost less than $5. A word about The American Pageant: the book contains a one-line reference to the earth being “several billion years” old, a sentiment not shared by all Christians. Otherwise, the book offers a fine narrative history of the United States--it reads more like a story than a textbook--and should help instill in students a love and understanding of history and the unique country in which we live.
AP students: for anyone taking both U.S. History and English Literature, please be aware that the literature textbook in AP Literature contains the play The Glass Menagerie.


You will find these books at greatly reduced prices at amazon.com and abebooks.com. All of the other books may also be purchased in used condition online. Local secondhand bookstores may carry some of these books as well.
I am currently working with the Encyclopedia Britannica to obtain an account that may be used by the students. There may be a small charge ($10 or less) for a year’s access to this valuable resource.
