Great book, too, but for American history, there is nothing like our "Patriot's History of the U.S."

By far, it has the most up-to-date research; most consistently-argued conclusions; and most thorough coverage of anything that is out there.

How does it compare to, say, Clarence Carson's books ? I used those in college (a while ago!) and thought they were good.

I haven't seen yours and will have to take a look - I'm a sucker for a good history book.
