Thanks to Becky at Farm School I may have found a history text book.
Under consideration.
Growth of the American Republic by Henry Steele Commager, Samuel Eliot Morison, and William E. Leuchtenberg (volume I, volume II)
We will probably do supplemental reading too, but these are the most promising textbooks I have seen so far.
Alasandra, just followed your Cafe post back here and saw this post. I hope it works for you as a spine. And I'd definitely do the supplemental reading as well. The Viking Portable Library series is quite nice -- a bunch were available recently at Bookcloseouts. Some of the ones I got were The Portable North American Indian Reader and The Portable Emerson. Penguin Classics also has some good stuff. Good luck!
