Putting Some European Perspective into American History

Van Ness, James S.

Social Studies, 65, 1, 6-10, Jan 74

Living in Europe offers alternatives for gaining perspective on American history: 1) history is viewed from afar; 2) structures or situations similar to those which existed in American long ago are witnessed or experienced; 3) European history spans a longer time period than American is realized. New perspectives are discussed. (Author/RM)
