Hakim's ten-volume history of the United States makes American history as exciting as an adventure story and as stimulating as a suspense yarn. She tells stories with all the fascinating sides of factual history. The dates and events, characters and complexities, heroes, heroines and villains are woven into the great American history. B&W illustrations throughout, index and timelines.

Climb into your time-and-space capsule-and hang on tight! Trek across Beringia with the hunter-gatherers. Hunt seals with the Inuit; harvest corn on a cliff-top mesa; hunt the mighty buffalo. Sail with Leif Eriksson and Christopher Columbus. Stand with the conquistadors at the gates of a splendid Aztec city. The world of the First Americans in about to change forever.
Joy Hakim is a former teacher, newspaper writer, and editor. She developed A History of US in the classroom, using children as her editors. She didn't expect to get letters from children about the books, but she has a file bulging with their letters-which she calls "an added bonus!"
