- Synopsis
- Meant to be a supplement to American history textbooks, this collection of primary sources is the first in a set of two volumes covering first contact through the Reconstruction. Shi (history, Furman U.) and Mayer (history, Duquesne U.) compile about 140 documents from political, social, and cultural sources such as eyewitness accounts, public documents, and contemporary literature. Examples are The Federalist Papers, Walden, and presidential addresses. Documents are presented in substantial portions or in their entirety and are introduced by historical background in each chapter. This edition includes new photo essays on the Civil War and Americans' fascination with the changing landscape as they moved West.
