Reviewsâ€œ The American Journey is the most engaging text that I have seen recently. I appreciate the chronological organization of the text and completely agree with the authors in regard to studentâ€™s comprehension and retention.â€� -CATHLEEN KOKEN, Pueblo Community College â€œThe greatest strengths include the primary sources, the level of detail in the chapters, and the stories which draw the reader in the beginning of the chapter.â€� -ANDRIA CROSSON, University of Texas at San Antonio â€œWhile cogent arguments come forth constantly in this text- arguments that help illustrate the American story as a real journey -this book is also full of excellent stories that teach the reader a great deal about the living, breathing experience of being American.â€� -DUKE RICHEY, University of North Texas â€œThe textbook does well in not only examining diversity but in placing different groups into interaction with one another.â€� -SUSANNA MICHELE LEE, North Carolina State University â€œThe regional balance is one of the strongest features of the Goldfield text. It makes the point that many trends are national, but also explains clearly how these trends varied in importance from region to region.â€� -JOANN CARPENTER, Florida State College at Jacksonville, "The American Journeyis the most engaging text that I have seen recently.
