In this combined edition, the full content of the 2nd edition of Thomas S. Kidd's American History volumes 1 and 2 are brought together in a single, accessible textbook. This sweeping narrative spans the full scope of American history from the first Native American societies to the political and cultural struggles of contemporary times up to the reelection of President Donald Trump. In clear, readable prose, and with attention to well-known and more obscure figures from American history, Kidd gives a robust account of the events, people, and ideas that gave shape to our nation from a Christian perspective. Students will come away from American History well-informed and better prepared to wrestle with the political and cultural changes that have dramatically transformed contemporary American life.
