AMERICA -- An Integrated Curriculum

Part I:  “Land of the Pilgrims’ Pride” (1492-1789) is an 11-week study that uses The Light and the Glory for Children for history:

Part II: “From Every Mountainside” (1787-1837) is an 11-week study that uses
From Sea to Shining Sea for Children as the history book:

Part III:  “Let Freedom Ring” (1837-1860) is an 11-week study that uses Sounding Forth the Trumpet for Children as the history book.  The three studies form a 1-year curriculum.

The children’s books by Mr. Marshall and Mr. Manuel present history in an easy-to-read story format.  The studies use these popular books and add more historical information, lessons, and activities to create a complete curriculum.  Suggestions are also included for using the America program with younger and older students.

When Peter Marshall read “Land of the Pilgrims’ Pride,” he commented:  “... I think you have done a fine job with the project.  David Manuel and I are grateful whenever our books are used to teach children the truth about our American history . . . .”

     A second year of America is also available; the history books used in the second year are pictured below (Peter Marshall books are not available for this time period):
Part IV: “May God Thy Gold Refine” (1860-1900)
Part V:  “ ‘Til All Success Be Nobleness” (1900-1940)
Part VI: “And Every Gain Divine” (1940-2001)
