Bishop Philip Joseph Furlong’s classic American history text, Our Pioneers and Patriots, is an exceptional companion for students in grades 5–8 who are studying the story of our nation—especially its deeply Catholic roots.
At a time when historical figures are frequently questioned, minimized, or erased (and Catholic figures most of all), it is essential that students receive a solid, faithful, and intellectually honest education about the founding and development of our country.
Covering first Norse and Spanish explorations of the New World, the text then moves on to cover the English colonies, the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, American expansion westward, the Industrial Revolution, and the early 20th century. Originally written in 1940, this text covers American History up to the Second World War. Included are influential figures such as Christopher Columbus, St. Isaac Jogues, Fr. Jacques Marquette, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, and many more!
Told from a distinctly Catholic and patriotic perspective, the book includes Study Questions and Activities that support comprehension and classroom instruction—ideal for Catholic schools and classical programs.
A clear, easy-to-use Answer Key is included, complete with page references for quick and accurate navigation.
Note: This set contains both the Textbook and Answer Key.
