This study features choice literature for American and world history from the 1860's to the 1970's. Recommended as a two-year course, it is divided into four distinct periods. The study covers a multitude of essential events, political figures, inventions, technological advances, social climates and movements. The guide offers study notes, comprehensive questions, vocabulary and essay questions encouraging the mature student to evaluate and determine the lessons of history; it also includes teacher's notes for the essential literature used in the course.
