Thanks for the booklist.
I have heard that Zinn's People's History is very interesting, but I've not yet read it.
I found a few chapters of The American Odyssey online, and I like the writing style much more than History of Us. I also noticed a world history text, Human Odyssey, in the same series. Did you use this as well, Kai? If so, did you do world history or US history first?
My son read the Story of the World books for pleasure in early elementary, but for the last two years, we've been studying the history of science using Aristotle Leads the Way and Newton at the Center. This will be our first formal survey of world or US history, and I keep wavering on which to do first.
