Text Book
For HIST 151

American Passages is the primary text book for HIST 151. This text book is required in all American history classes taught at Schoolcraft College.

Thomson-Wadsworth has developed a companion web site for American Passages. Although the web site is poorly designed, the information on it is especially valuable. We will cover the first eight chapters in American Passages. I have hot linked the chapter titles to on line quizzes which can serve as study guides.
