Announcements/Volume 2 of (updated) “This Country of Ours: The Story of the United States”

(Updated to add: Volume 2 is now available on Kindle.)
…(which covers chapters 29-63, and is used for AO’s Year 4) is now available at Amazon. It is in paperback and hardcover, with an inexpensive Kindle version to follow shortly.
Here is a description of this work: “Accurate tribal names, sources of quotes, and added information tether this story to the historical record while maintaining the literary excellence of the original.”
Volume 2 continues the same chapter numbers, out of respect for H. E. Marshall’s work and to keep the continuity of the series.
Volume 1 covers chapters 1-28 and is used for the end of Year 2 and all of Year 3. Volume 3 should be available by the end of 2023 (chapters 64-99), and a brand new volume covering the century that follows is also being planned.
(An added note: H. E. Marshall’s original work is still used for AmblesideOnline and the free version is linked to our website.)

I was just thinking yesterday about how I need to order this! Thank you for putting in all this work. I was a little hesitant to use TCOO for the reasons you updated it, but I hadn't found a suitable substitute. It was wonderful using Vol. 1 this year with tribal names already included and ask your lovely history and pronunciation notes. Thanks!
