I really wanted to see a list of Landmark books in chronological order so I could decide which ones I wanted to keep an eye out for. Unfortunately, after extensive Googling, I couldn’t find a list. Every list I found was really a list of them in publication order. I also came across lots of people on forums who were looking for the same sort of list, so I decided to make one myself. You can download it above or view it on this page.
The Landmark Books series was published by Random House in the 50s and 60s. At first they were published as hardcovers with dust jackets. Later they had the cover images printed directly on the hardcover. Some of them were quite exciting true adventure stories that especially appealed to boys, and several books would be published each year. You could subscribe to them and get copies mailed to you. Currently there are several reprints (sometimes with changes) and several new books being published as Landmark Books in softcover. Most of the originals are out of print. There are over 180 Landmark Books in total in the original series. Tons of people, especially homeschoolers, collect these books. You can find them on e-Bay for $5 to $10 each, often cheaper if you buy them as a lot. Okay, enough about publication info.
Why are these books so cool? They’re popular for the same reason historical fiction books are popular. Historical fiction is awesome in that it can pull you in and show you what it was like to live in a time period or during a certain event. It’s way more exciting than a textbook–you actually cannot wait to find out what happens and will sit down to read chapter after chapter. Well-researched non-fiction history is so often dry, especially when it’s in textbook or encyclopedia form, written by a committee (barf). Landmark books are non-fiction history books; however, they were almost all written by talented authors whose passion it was to make history exciting and tell real stories as if they were novels.
A note about dates and time periods: First, the time periods are arranged according to the way Landmark books are best grouped. As a Christian, I would not likely agree with the presentation of events in the prehistory books. As a history teacher, I do not consider “U.S. Military, Secret Service, and FBI” to be a major time period; however, there are ten Landmark books on those topics, so it deserved it’s own category on this list. Secondly, the dates are not necessarily accurate. I do not own most of the Landmark books on this list, so a fair amount of searching and generalizing was necessary to put these in order. Some books cover several centuries or even millennia. For the most part, when a book focuses on a specific person, the dates listed are their birth and death dates. If you find any errors, feel free to e-mail me (link in sidebar) so I can correct them!

I love your Landmark booklist. I have moved and have been trying to put them in order, again, and your list will help me! Thank you. I teach social studies (American history with North Carolina) to 8th graders and they don’t want to read anything. My 5th graders used to love these books, but my current kids don’t seem to want to do much except visit with each other. I have A LOT of these books and would love to think of some way to get them, force them, into the hands of my 13 year olds! The reading level is not difficult and I agree that the books are engaging and written by well known authors such as Sterling North. I envy you being a homeschool teacher. Public school is so difficult and I just finished my 22 year, and each year just gets harder and harder. Any ideas on how to use these books with 29 students would be appreciated. Thank you for your list. Theresa

I love that you are trying to include them in your classroom! Many kids have been raised on a steady diet of glossy, colorful books with lots of pictures for history (think Usborne books). They look like they will be much more exciting than an old, possibly musty book with only a few line drawings. I can think of one way you might get them inspired to read them (short of assigning book reviews for them, which is not so likely to make them love them like you do). Maybe you could ask them to read one Landmark book and more current Usborne-type book on the same topic and compare the books. Ask them whether they prefer the fact- and picture-filled books with lots of little sections on interesting tidbits or whether they prefer the more connected story-style Landmark books. Ask which one gave them a better sense of what it was like to actually live in that period. Ask them which book is better suited to visual or verbal learners. Ask them whether they think publishers make history books now to read more like the internet and suit our sometimes short attention spans. And definitely ask them if they can find any differences in the amount of political correctness in the two books. At that age, the students might find it really interesting to compare or harshly critique the two books. 13 year olds like to argue and have opinions, so taking that approach might help. I’d love to hear if you try that or any other method and how it turns out!

Thank you so much for this awesome list and the check boxes too. I am trying to collect all of them for our homeschool. This will be invaluable!

So you have inspired me to put in order and count my set. I have 132 different ones, multiple copies of some. I noticed that Daniel Boone is on your list twice, and it works in both sections! Three of my books were not on your list: The Copper Kings of Montana by Marian T. Place–American’s First World War by Henry Castor–The FBI by Quentin Reynolds…..probably just an oversight. Again, I love your list and thank you.

Thank you so much for pointing that out! I will definitely revise the list as soon as I can. I’m without my own computer until late August, but when I have access to the PDF, I’ll update it there, too.
p.s. I don’t have those three, so for the Montana and FBI ones, the dates will be estimates based on my internet searching. Please let me know if I get them totally wrong!

Hi Stacey,
Thank you so much for doing this work on the Landmark Books in Chronological Order.
This is a wonderful resource. I am trying to build a collection of Landmark books just for the sake of redoing my childhood. As they say, it is never to later to have a happy childhood, it just gets more expensive as you get older.
Also, I think there is a good series of books on science, nature and technology, to compliment the Landmark Books on History; Golden Library of Knowledge. They may be for a 10-12 year old reader, smaller print but may drawings.

On a totally different topic – Naikan.
See what you think about this book for teaching gratitude and compassion.

Bye for now,
