Many many years ago when I was in college a wonderful text we had  was 
introduction to contemporary Civilization in the West.It included not only 
events but important writings. I saved vol.one but unfortunately lost vol2. It 
was very readable but is probably out of print

Much good luck wishes for total success on the  advance placement exam

To What assignment are you referring  If your daughter needs more first-hand 
memories of the Depression or WWII yearsom the UI.S. I'm sure George and I and 
perhaps Bud would be happy to oblige.My family didn't suffer during the 
Dpression because my dad was a GP and was paid for his services in food I wax 
just a small child--but was older, in grade school during WWII
