This study guide is designed to accompany the title A History of US, Book 5, Revised 3rd Edition by Joy Hakim. The text covers 1820-1860, beginning with Mountain Men and the Santa Fe Trail, and explores significant events and technological innovations of the first half of the 19th century as well as a few American authors and artists of this time period. This guide is age-flexible and can be used as desired for family-style or individual history study, but is recommended for approximately 5th-8th grades. Questions are intentionally designed to require the student not simply to race through reading this text but to stop, consider details, and consider how the stories of history are being told and why they are being told in this way.
