Summary

For courses in U.S. History

Show students how diverse communities and different regions have shaped America
Revel™ Out of Many: A History of the American People focuses on particular communities and regions to weave the stories of the people and the nation into a single compelling narrative that continues to this day. Approaching American history from a truly continental perspective, authors John Faragher, Mari Jo Buhle, Daniel Czitrom, and Susan Armitage present vignettes — from New England to the South, the Midwest to the far West — that help students see how diverse communities and different regions have shaped America's past.
