== Why not the featured US History book  ==
which is found at wikibooks here. [http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/US_History].
from nearly the opening chapter of the book, what I have found was neither neutral nor easily corrected.
*to start with, the author immediately discounts the major theory on North american settlement; the 'bering land' bridge theory.  While it is true that recent scholarship has painted a more complex picture of N american settlement than this 1920's era theory.  We do not need to in the words of the talk page; assume that the bering land bridge theory only works if 'million' of siberians cross into america.  This is a 'straw man' theory for sure.
Indeed recent scholarship has proved that there are undeniable migrations through the bering land bridge.
