Great post! I too would be interested in a book list of left-less history books, especially for kids.

Oh - I apologize - I didn't include you in my comment - please see #4 - ABeka books are sold individually or as a set from the Ministry of Pensacola Christian College.

I have been impressed with every ABeka Book I have ever purchased.

Ronald Regan's Autobiography, An American Life is excellent. Find a copy of that for him. We also have Abeka history books. Google homeschool history curriculum.

If he's in HS now, I'd think he would be ready to read "adult books" like Ann, Newt, Rush, Hannity etc., they are full of history lessons.

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 =

Try www.conservativebookclub.com.
Also "The Life of Colonel David Crockett" by Edward S. Ellis. Out of print I think, could find a used copy on www.abebooks.com.
