This is the first in a planned series of books to help readers improve their English skills. Each book will teach you something about the United States. This book is about U.S. history.
This book is the learner’s edition of our U.S.A. History in Brief. It will teach you about important events in the history of the United States. You also will find many beautiful pictures of the events and people who shaped that history.
This is the first in a series of books to help people learn the English language. Each of our Learner English books will have a different topic that teaches readers about the United States and helps them understand new words.
In the print edition of this book and in the online PDF file, but not in this HTML version, some words will appear in boldface type. You will find their meanings, or definitions, in a brightly colored box on the same page, along with examples of how to use the word.
Each chapter in this HTML edition is accompanied by an audio file of a native speaker reading that chapter. If you listen while you read, you can hear exactly how each word is pronounced when you see it.
You can read the text or listen as a native-speaker reads it aloud
