Lands of Hope and Promise is a high school level book which presents the history of North America from the landing of Columbus in 1492 to the late 20th century. It tells the story of the French, the Spanish, Dutch, Russian, and English settlements, and of the native peoples and cultures with which they interacted and came in conflict. It continues the story of the European settlement, focusing on the United States as the representative of Anglo-American culture and Mexico a the representative of Latin American culture. Though Lands of Hope and Promise tells the secular history found in standard textbooks, it includes the contributions of the Catholic Church, Catholic communities, and individual Catholics – along with Catholic ideas – to this rich and tempestuous story. And it tells this history as a story, with all the color and drama that belongs to it. End of chapter reviews and other material highlight dates and events, characters in history, and definitions of key terms.
Dr. Jeffrey Burton Russell (Professor of History, emeritus, University of California, Santa Barbara) tells you why you should buy this book:
Other middle and high-school history textbooks lack the qualities that Catholic Textbook Projects' Light to the Nations I and II and Lands of Hope and Promise offer. These book present all the main themes along with plenty of detail to flesh them out. They are beautifully and clearly presented. Without proselytizing,and without pressing any worldview other than the importance of understanding the past, the books present the material of Catholic history interwoven with other important themes. In fact, they offer more about those important themes than most textbooks do. Teachers and students who use the Catholic Textbook Project series will be happy to know that in college its readers will know more about history than many of their professors as well as most of their classmates.Go here to see all the history books and to learn more about The Catholic Textbook Project.
