The themes addressed in this work are timely in light of current controversies over American history curriculum, the role of textbooks, and the idea of a common American narrative. 606 $aHistoriography$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aTextbooks$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$vTextbooks$xEvaluation 615 0$aHistoriography$xHistory 615 0$aTextbooks$xHistory 676 $a973 700 $aJoyce$b Barry Alan$01526909 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797560303321 996 $aThe first U.S. history textbooks$93769309 997 $aUNINA
