Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

This is a 3-volume set of books by Samuel Morison. I saw it as a history option for Ambleside's Year 9 history. We happen to have this set, left from my husband's college days. I started reading Vol. 1 last month and it is an engaging text, which I don't think will be too challenging for my rising high schooler.

Just curious if anyone else has used this set of books for high school American History. From what I've browsed so far, there does not seem to be any negative bias towards Catholicism. Where it lacks meatiness regarding the Catholic contributions to American History, I think those gaps can easily be filled in with biographies and such.
