Note: the masters in this book are designed for outdated duplicating technology and while still readable, the ink has bled.
In this series we have attempted to present a general view of the growth of the United States as a democratic republic. We have tried to present the major events of historical importance, as well as the figures who were involved in them. Through the use of visual material, the printed page, and student activities, it is hoped that the students will enjoy the presentation of history as a meaningful and ever continuing experience.

NOTE: This book may be purchased in two forms: transparency-duplicating book or with duplicating masters only. The teacher's guide has been written for the transparency-duplicating book, but will apply to both versions.
TO THE TEACHER:
This book is a new approach to the presentation of American history as a vital ongoing experience. By means of twelve colorful transparencies and twenty- eight duplicating masters, the panoramic aspects of our nation's history have been presented, using text, maps, and visuals. The material has been designed to stimulate discussion and create a desire for more de- tailed study. Activities and test pages have been included to help the student check his grasp of the concepts and to aid the teacher in measuring the progress of the class.
