I like Johnson's "History of the American People." If you want something with slant, Tindall and Shi's "America" used to be considered the "most balanced," but not the newer ed.

Thanks. I have Johnson's book. I/we did not read it through and through, but used as a reference and read selective chapters. I like him very much and his political commentaries also. Thanks again.
