The first volume covers America from discovery to settlement in 1860, the second volume reviews the American Civil War and the industrial revolution's impact on the structure of the country.

This book is actually a 5 volume book being the last volume was intended as an annual chronicle which was to cover ten years starting in 1939.

Big Bird, a Muppet character on the children's television series "Sesame Street", owns a copy of the work. This is meant as a subtle visual joke, as Big Bird's character is meant to be only 6 years old and relatively naive.Fact|date=July 2007
