Hello My son loves history. When he was in Jr. high he was teaching me history. I asked him how he knew all of these facts and he replied, I read next years history book, it's in the library.
I have read some liberal propaganda in some of these history books from school. Either information is left out or they leave comments to the imagination. I remember reading in one of his books about Presidents. I read about President Ronald Reagan and they gloss right over his true successes with brief mentions.
I would love to find an American History book that tells the stories with truth and pride in America. No propaganda. If this is at all possible. I have looked on Amazon but I’m just not sure who the writers are. It will also assist me teaching my youngest (7) child the facts in a positive way. Is there a good book for younger children too? Anyone know of such a book or books? I think they will make great Christmas gifts. Thank you so much for the help!
Forgive me if I don't post this properly. :)
Great post! I too would be interested in a book list of left-less history books, especially for kids.

An I'd-also-like-to-know bump.
My son is a home schooled 8th grader and we love this book! It begins with the exploration to the "New World" and ends with a summary of Bill Clinton as President - not necessarily mean, but not flattering..........;^)
Any of Lynne Cheney's children's books.
I have been impressed with every ABeka Book I have ever purchased.
The Light and the Glory series by Peter Marshall.
1. The Light and the Glory - From discovering through Rev War.
2. From Sea to Shining Sea- Rev War up to the Alamo
3. 3rd book goes to WWII I believe. I can't remember the name.
I believe that they are currently writing a 4th book that should be out soon. Also the first two books have a children's version.
The best histories of the United States that I have read is Clarence B. Carsons "A Basic History Of The United States"; a five volume set, detailing the history of the Colonial Years to the formation of the modern welfare state, starting with FDR.
The books were published in the mid '80's; and have not been revised since then, BUT there is REAL history here, not some LIBERAL REVISIONISM. The author was a true Conservative...
I bought these paperback books in the early '90's from the Conservative Book Club.. they are simply excellent. Just the thing for any homeschooling family.
I looked for 'em on the Net; here is one site where the set can be ordered =

Troll?
Do I smell Troll?
Thank you so much! I will be looking into these books. It will be great for me as well as the kids. I knew Freepers would be in the know.
Hey, my post warrented a troll or two. Wow :) I wish I could have seen their comments. I'm sure the comments were as ignorant as they are.
