By the People tells resonant stories of the people who have shaped the United States, from everyday women and men to the most important leaders of their day. Throughout this engaging text, author Jim Fraser empowers you to focus on historical analysis and interpretation rather than to simply memorize information. Examining both the relatable and remarkable people in US history, the text helps readers see themselves in history, maybe even inspiring you to join the list of those who have helped build a better, more hopeful country.

American Voices features bring history alive through the words, thoughts and ideas of people who experienced the events of the time. And Thinking Historically features show how historians cite historical evidence to explain why certain decisions were made, providing models of how to think historically.
