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.

I am sure that there is already a list someplace, but lack of sleep (aka baby growth spurt) has caused fuzzy brain for me.

I am looking for a list of books (fiction and non-fiction) that covers American History. My knowledge of history is almost nil, so I would not even know what order the books go in

Thanks in advance,

This list from Simply Charlotte Mason is the place I started. I used that booklist to study American History with my kids two years ago.

Just last year I discovered SCM's Stories of America. My kids love listening to the various stories in the book. The chapters are brief and it is a fun book for the younger crowd.

We are currently reading aloud John Carroll, Bishop and Patriot (a Vision book) and it is excellent.

Some of our old threads have links to living book lists for history. A couple I found that might have what you are looking for:
List of history books
Chronological History booklist online??
American History Reading list

And if you happen to be looking for any history picture books, I compiled a list of those and posted last fall. American history is in the last several sections.
