Editorial Reviews

Review

"These essays do indeed represent some of the best work in American history during the past year. Historians will find new approaches, new information, and fresh interpretations. Sample one or two of the essays in your own special field of interest, and you will be tempted to read on until you have absorbed them all."--James M. McPherson
