A Little History of the United States"This is a little history with a big heart, meant to be savored more than studied, read out loud like poetry, or perhaps sung like a hymn." Joseph J. Ellis, author of Founding Brothers "Davidson has written a work that should lead readers to reflect anew on America's past and present. . . .

"This is a little history with a big heart, meant to be savored more than studied, read out loud like poetry, or perhaps sung like a hymn."--Joseph J. Ellis, author of Founding Brothers

"Davidson has written a work that should lead readers to reflect anew on America's past and present. . . . We can all use not just a good refresher course on American history, but also some good historical thinking on how we might better realize freedom, equality, and E pluribus unum."--The Daily Beast

A fast-paced, character-filled history that brings the unique American saga to life for readers of all ages

How did a land and people of such immense diversity come together under a banner of freedom and equality to form one of the most remarkable nations in the world? Everyone from young adults to grandparents will be fascinated by the answers uncovered in James West Davidson's vividly told A Little History of the United States. In 300 fast-moving pages, Davidson guides his readers through 500 years, from the first contact between the two halves of the world to the rise of America as a superpower in an era of atomic perils and diminishing resources.

In short, vivid chapters the book brings to life hundreds of individuals whose stories are part of the larger American story. Pilgrim William Bradford stumbles into an Indian deer trap on his first day in America; Harriet Tubman lets loose a pair of chickens to divert attention from escaping slaves; the toddler Andrew Carnegie, later an ambitious industrial magnate, gobbles his oatmeal with a spoon in each hand. Such stories are riveting in themselves, but they also spark larger questions to ponder about freedom, equality, and unity in the context of a nation that is, and always has been, remarkably divided and diverse.

Nice jacket!
Size: Large, Color: Dark Indigo Wash
I got this coat for my nephew because he has been begging for a similar one and he loves it! The sizing is dead on and the fabric is a little stuff so size up if you think you'll need to. Great quality, well made!

Cute denim Jacket
Size: X-Small, Color: Dark Indigo Wash
This Jacket is the cutest on my daughter! I caught it on sale which is a plus. Fits my daughter good with room to grow. It had a smell but it wasn’t bad enough to take off any stars.
