Kennedy/O'Mara's THE AMERICAN PAGEANT, Volume 2, 18th Edition, enjoys a reputation as one of the most popular, effective and entertaining texts on American history, and for good reasons. Colorful anecdotes, vivid maps, charts, illustrations and highlighted first-person quotations, along with the authors' trademark wit bring American history to life. Learning aids make the book's content as accessible as it is enjoyable. Brief essays opening each of the text’s nine chronological sections, along with chapter-ending chronologies help students develop a coherent understanding of the pace, phases and grand sweep of the American story. Other features present primary sources, scholarly debates and lastingly consequential historical developments for analysis. The text is also available in split options (Volume 1 and Volume 2).
