Our History: A Survey of United States History, Volume Two - From 1865 is a balanced treatment of political and social history grounded in a clear chronology that emphasizes cultural history and social movements. It is suitable for introductory or survey courses on the history of the United States, also called American history, that cover the time period from pre-Columbian contact to the present day taught at two- and four-year colleges and universities. The book is available in two volumes, each of which is appropriate for the semester-long course ("Volume One - to 1877" and "Volume Two - from 1865").
