We have looked, and we cannot find an American history study on a grammar-school level that we think rivals H. A. Guerber’s two-volume American history set from the turn of the 20th century. So, rather than settle for lesser quality,we have combined Guerber’s The Story of the Thirteen Colonies and the Great Republic into one volume that makes it a perfect one-year survey of American history for the middle school years. 

The Student Guide provides questions corresponding with the text and also provides an in-depth study that will aid the student in gaining a better understanding of modern history. 

This compilation from Memoria Press contains reprints of two early American history texts from Helene Guerber. Originally published in 1896 by the American Book Company, the Story of Thirteen Colonies and The Great Republic have been combined in one volume, providing children a one year overview of American history, from the first inhabitants of North America through the 19th century. Written in a delightful narrative form with a focus on the fascinating stories of the people who shaped our nation, children may beg you to read this to them for their history lessons. The texts are unabridged, with only minor editing changes. Black & white illustrations. Pb, 280 pgs.

Also available, the supplemental (optional) American History Outline Student Guide and American History Outline Teacher Key. Designed to help students study well, the American History Outline helps students organize and retain key information from their readings. Along with the Story of Thirteen Colonies and the Great Republic,  Story of the World Volume 4 is recommended.
