Four different versions of the Twelfth Edition were printed. All are divided into six parts, from "Founding the New Nation" (with an initial chapter on prehistory, natives, and European exploration) through "Making Modern America". The six parts are subdivided into a total of 42 chapters spanning 1034 pages. The book's chronology officially ends in the year 2001, though later printings include an additional three paragraphs detailing the 2004 US election as well as September 11.

The four versions of the Twelfth Edition are the Complete Edition (ISBN 0-618-10349-X), the version "For Advanced High School Courses" (pictured at right), published by Houghton Mifflin (ISBN 0-618-24732-7).
