U.S. History curriculum?

Anyone have experience with one they love? Thanks!

I used America from the Beginning (answers in genesis) as our spine and supplemented with the Time Travelers series (hands on). They would color/cut/paste/take notes while I read the TT lessons and the AFTB was their reading assignment. History was their FAVORITE subject doing this pairing. I also bought a timeline book (sonlight) and timeline stickers to use as we read.

My kids love this one from A Beka http://www.abeka.com/ABekaOnline/BookDescription.aspx?sbn=108626
It is to be used in fourth grade, but I think it can be used with a group of different grade levels. There are not hands-on activities, sorry! But you can add your own. It is great for teaching U.S. history in chronological order. There are also quizzes and a teacher manual available.
Another one we have enjoyed is Our American Heritage. It is a collection of biographies, an introduction to U.S. History through the life of different heroes, inventors, presidents, etc.
