Excerpt from An Outline History of the United States: For Public and Other Schools; From the Earliest Period to the Present Time This book has been prepared to meet the demands of Teachers and Pupils, and the conditions of our Common School Teaching. They require a book clear and concise in all its statements of facts concerning the more prominent events in the History of the United States, with helps for the memory. They require a book that shall be fall, and accurate, and attractive, and at the same time to occupy, in its study and the recitations, as little time as possible in the routine of the school-work. To answer these requirements the Author has bestowed the most careful thought and labor on this work, and has given to it prominent features, which may be defined as follows: 1. As few words as possible have been used in giving it a pleasing narrative form. Ideas are not smothered in words; nor is the living interest in the story dulled by the dryness of a mere chronological form. 2. The narrative is divided into six distinct periods, in the natural time and order which events suggest, namely: Discoveries, Settlements, Colonies, The Revolution, The Nation, and The Civil War and its Consequences. This is the general arrangement of the whole series of the author's Histories of the United States for Schools and Families. 3. The work is arranged in short sentences, so that the substance of each may be easily comprehended by an ordinary effort of memory.

New York Times Bestseller Now part of the HBO docuseries "Exterminate All the Brutes," written and directed by Raoul Peck Recipient of the American Book Award The first history of the United States told from the perspective of indigenous peoples Today in the United States, there are more than five hundred federally recognized Indigenous nations comprising nearly three million people, descendants of the fifteen million Native people who once inhabited this land. The centuries-long genocidal program of the US settler-colonial regimen has largely been omitted from history. Now, for the first time, acclaimed historian and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz offers a history of the United States told from the perspective of Indigenous peoples and reveals how Native Americans, for centuries, actively resisted expansion of the US empire. With growing support for movements such as the campaign to abolish Columbus Day and replace it with Indigenous Peoples’ Day and the Dakota Access Pipeline protest led by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States is an essential resource providing historical threads that are crucial for understanding the present. In An Indigenous Peoples’ History of the United States, Dunbar-Ortiz adroitly challenges the founding myth of the United States and shows how policy against the Indigenous peoples was colonialist and designed to seize the territories of the original inhabitants, displacing or eliminating them. And as Dunbar-Ortiz reveals, this policy was praised in popular culture, through writers like James Fenimore Cooper and Walt Whitman, and in the highest offices of government and the military. Shockingly, as the genocidal policy reached its zenith under President Andrew Jackson, its ruthlessness was best articulated by US Army general Thomas S. Jesup, who, in 1836, wrote of the Seminoles: “The country can be rid of them only by exterminating them.” Spanning more than four hundred years, this classic bottom-up peoples’ history radically reframes US history and explodes the silences that have haunted our national narrative. An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States is a 2015 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature.
