This sweeping narrative spans the full scope of American history from the first Native American societies to the political and cultural struggles of contemporary times. In clear, readable prose, and with attention to well-known and more obscure figures from American history, Kidd gives a robust account of the events, people, and ideas that gave shape to our nation. Students will come away from American History well-informed, and better prepared to wrestle with the political and cultural changes that have dramatically transformed contemporary American life. Praise for American History “Thomas Kidd has succeeded well in providing a high quality American history text that integrates the usual political and social history with its religious dimensions.” —George Marsden, professor of history emeritus, University of Notre Dame “Thomas Kidd explores the entirety of American history in this carefully researched and clearly written text. It is an ideal book for students new to American history as well as for older readers who would like a sprightly, objective, and discerning refresher.” —Mark Noll, professor of history emeritus, University of Notre Dame, and research professor of history, Regent College Review: Great book to read! - Great book if you like history! Review: Helped me grasp a chaotic history and understand the lead up to what going on now. - Thomas S. Kidd breaks everything down into simple sections. I really liked this because a chaotic history wasn’t made any harder to understand. It was made much easier to grasp things kind of one at a time. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #22,847 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #100 in United States History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 445 Reviews | ## Images ![American History, Combined Edition: 1492 - Present - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aK2Yl0wfL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book to read! *by C***R on December 6, 2025* Great book if you like history! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helped me grasp a chaotic history and understand the lead up to what going on now. *by M***L on February 14, 2026* Thomas S. Kidd breaks everything down into simple sections. I really liked this because a chaotic history wasn’t made any harder to understand. It was made much easier to grasp things kind of one at a time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Reliable, factual, comprehensive *by L***P on November 2, 2024* I bought this book as an option for homeschooling my high schooler with Ambleside Online. As a former American History teacher, to say that I am "picky" about the types of history books my kids read is an understatement. Kidd's writing reflects a balanced view of the religious and historical forces in the founding and early colonial period- not falling into common tropes or hobby horses as those eras seem to inspire among Christians and non-Christians alike. This book may not be the best choice for a teacher who wants to present the view of the US as a religious monolith (e.g., "all the Founding Fathers were Christians"). Also, most (nearly all?) history texts have sidebars, callouts, and other visual disruptions on the printed page- this does not! There are carefully selected pictures, but no "eye candy". The focus is on the *text*, and good for building long-form reading skills. The book includes events through the election of 2016. While we have only worked through the first few chapters this year (I've skimmed the rest), I can heartily recommend it as an excellent source and look forward to using it for many years. ## Frequently Bought Together - American History, Combined Edition: 1492 - Present - The Constitution of the United States of America: The Declaration of Independence, The Bill of Rights - A People's History of the United States --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/175306900-american-history-combined-edition-1492-present](https://www.desertcart.be/products/175306900-american-history-combined-edition-1492-present) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-07-30*
