Notes about the entries on this page

  1. ‘Vol 1’ means the textbook covers from the ‘beginning’ of American history to 1877; Vol 2 covers from 1865 to some recent date.  ‘Single Vol’ means the entire period is covered in one volume.
  2. If a textbook clearly indicated it was for either secondary school or college, that is noted. Many textbooks did not specify that.
