- Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2012I purchased this book for a class I was taking that I ended up dropping, so I sent it back immediately. No issues with the book, I just no longer needed it.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2014I bought this as a textbook for an Appalachian History class. Being from that area, I was convinced I knew everything already. This is a very comprehensive text! I suggest reading it to learn something new.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2014Bought for school.
