that is the the most complete history from the time of the colonies to the late 1950's.

I am also going through

Labor Leaders in America - Dubofsky, Van Tine (ISBN - 0-252-01343-3)

It is a good history on many labor leaders from the early 1800's through the 1960's.

Those were both former library books I got for 25 cents each. Next I need to find books that have detail from 1960-present.
