National History. Grade 2.

This textbook is the first in the national history series developed by the Ministry of Education in Saigon and used in all public schools in Vietnam. The three books in this series have been reprinted in their entirety from the original editions for use in elementary schools in the United States which have Vietnamese students. The grade 2 text contains four chapters: (1) The Legendary Beginning; (2) Historical Sites; (3) Regional Heroes; and (4) Famous Historical Figures. All illustrations are provided in black and white; therefore, references to colored illustrations in the text should be ignored. (CFM)
