Degler (read 14 Aug 1989) This is a 1959 book about "forces" that shaped America. Very dated in the later parts. Some things he said were right. He spent a lot of time saying Reconstruction wasn't as bad ad Claude Bowers, et al., said. Quite a book. (  ) Schmerguls | Jun 23, 2008 |   no reviews | add a review

| Book description |
|
The original edition of this now classic work was hailed by Jacob Cohen in The Nation as "the finest one-volume interpretation of American history extant."
For this Third Edition of Out of Our Past, Carl Degler has added a comprehensive new chapter on the historical development of American families, brought up to date the discussion of U.S. foreign policy, greatly expanded sections dealing with the place and history of women in our past, and made numerous changes throughout the text in light of scholarship published since the appearance of the 1970 Revised Edition.
