    We homeschooled our kids and the US History books available were great.

    How in depth do you want to get? Some of my favorites are:

    Founding Brothers

    and

    1776

    Plus there are numerous biographies that are outstanding.

    Although its focus is not exclusively on early America (he does spend several chapters on this subject, IIRC,) I recommend supplementing your main text with James Loewen, Lies My Teacher Told Me.

    Another good history book is The Politically Incorrect Guide to American History.

    As much as possible as long as it's not excessive.

    +1 on 1776. Great book. Also check out the John Adams Bio. Both will give you a feel of the time.
