Summary: A superlative contribution to American history.
Comment: Ordinary Americans is an engaging and informative collection of almost two hundred first-person accounts of five hundred years of American history by ordinary, everyday people who lived through the events they describe. Editor Linda Monk draws from letters, diaries, autobiographical accounts, and interviews for this compendium of funny, moving, exasperating, often inspiring descriptions and reactions of the people. These men and women include Native Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, Asian Americans, as well as Americans of various European ancestries. These multi-cultural everyday perspectives will enable modern readers of all ethnicities to discover shared experiences that define us all as Americans. Ordinary Americans is a superlative contribution to American history and is a highly recommended acquisition for personal, school and community library collections.

Summary: Interesting lives of ordinary Americans like me and you.
Comment: My son used this book at city college and brought it home when he was finished. He recommended it to our homeschooled 14 year old daughter. She loved it. The book got stolen along with some other books. My daughter ASKED me to get her another one. I think that tells it all.
