I Recommend this Book to All Homeschoolers"I recommend this book to all homeschoolers who are looking for a living book about US History, or those who simply want to expand what they were taught (or not taught) as children." Beautifully Set, Easy to Read, All Without Having to Do Clunky Editing of Outdated Language"I use this book as a Charlotte Mason educator with my younger children. Reading the public domain copy was a task as I did edit things, such as 'savages' when talking about Native Americans. The updated version of America First has been exceptionally helpful for me, in that I can read to them without having to edit. We still discuss how Natives were treated, how slaves were treated, and why it's important to see Natives and slaves as PEOPLE - not 'savages' or worse."It's the Little Things that Really Add to the Ease of Using this Book"The book is typeset beautifully, and the illustrations really help my children grasp what is going on in each story. I can hand over the book to older children who can read independently and allow them to read the history as opposed to being caught up in the language of the time. Additionally, the fact that there are years included as opposed '50 years ago' is SO HELPFUL for keeping a timeline. It's the little things that really add to the ease of using this book."
