I'm pretty sure they are. They are recommended reading in curriculums like Story of the World (which is part of the Well Trained Mind stuff) and Ambleside Online and maybe Sonlight. Of the ones we've read I've not noticed any glaring errors...but I'm certainly no history major.

Well, all but one of their books that we have read have been about mythology. But the one nonfiction history book we've read was historically accurate. We love their books around here.
