My wife and I homeschool our three kids, and we have up to this point used programs like Sonlight and Abeka - both very good programs. However, we've recently decided to migrate to using more traditional textbooks for our older children. The Glencoe American Journey is a very high quality text, filled with photographs, color illustrations, and is very expansive in scope, covering from pre-discovery to post Civil War in great detail. It is targeted to grades 6-8 or 7-9, with all three years in one volume.
All of the Glencoe books are organized in a very similar manner, with lessons outlined, small sidebar discussions of relevant topics, and end of week questions. Teacher's editions and supplement material are readily available from the publisher. Additional online assignments and questions are also accessible.
This is our first year of using the product, but from what I can see so far, it is outstanding. I only wish I had used this book when I was in Middle School.
Please be kind enough to indicate if reviews are helpful.

My son uses it in 8th grade, and being a historian myself I checked the book out. The foreign policy part would have needed an editor with background knowledge. Especially galling was p. 754 in which the Stalinist regime in the Soviet Union gets dispatched in 3 (!) sentences, (while Hitler gets several pages) two of the three saying that "Stalin executed his rivals, ordered the deaths of thousands suspected of supporting his rivals, and sent millions of Russians to labor camps. He also reorganized the nation's economy, forcing millions of people onto government-owned farms." (p. 754)....
Actually, he had at least 2 million suspected of supporting his opponents executed, and millions of peasants (estimates range to 10 million) liquidated by execution, hunger and in the GULAG during collectivization. Estimates by Robert Conquest, J. Rummel and others range from 20 to 40 million overall killed by Stalin, with most killed before 1940, which is the time period covered in the "rise of dictators" section--and not "thousands." The short part given to Stalin is not only mendacious towards the victims, but also skews these students understanding of Europe in the 1930s, and the true nature of FDR's friend "Uncle Joe"-- which perhaps is the rationale behind this mendacious falsification. There are other events in Europe in the 19th and 20th century covered in a cartoonish and simpleton way. Hopefully teachers will use their own judgment and add additional material.

This book has a lot of information about the U.S. history. IT had documents, like the Declaration of Independence, The MAyflower Compact, etc. I think you can find ample information with this great heavy book of such numerous answers to questions you have on American history.
