Description:

This edition of America First has been completely UPDATED AND REVISED for modern readers.

AMERICA FIRST by Lawton Evans has always been my favorite book for elementary American History. The author has such a wonderful narrative style that always keeps students engaged. Unfortunately, the book also contains language and attitudes that are racially insensitive, as it was first published in the early 1900s. I have tried to remedy this so that parents can enjoy reading this book to their children without having to edit as they read it aloud.

AMERICA FIRST: UPDATED EDITION includes the following changes:

  • Any language that described Native Americans as savages or blood-thirsty has been removed.
  • The term “Indian” has been replaced with “Native American” or simply, “natives” or "people" in most instances
  • The term “negro” has been replaced with “person” or “citizen,” or, when referring to enslaved peoples prior to or during the Civil War, the term “negro” has been replaced with “slave.”
  • All instances of the term “master” and “marse” have been removed.
  • The term “white men” has been changed to “explorers,” “English colonists,” “colonists,” or simply, “citizens” or “people,” depending on the context.
  • Other updates to the book include restoring dignity to the descriptions of enslaved peoples.
  • Dates have been updated.
  • New illustrations have been added to the original illustrations.

I hope you and your children enjoy the updated edition of AMERICA FIRST.
