Hear the American past in the words of those who lived it. No textbook filter, no hindsight. In American History Told by Contemporaries Volume V, editor Albert Bushnell Hart gathers vivid primary sources in US history into a carefully shaped narrative of the nation before 1900. Letters, speeches, newspaper pieces, public records and private reflections appear side by side, creating an american history document collection that reads like a chorus of firsthand accounts of American events. Both a historical documents reader and a primary source history anthology, it illuminates american political and social history through the voices of participants rather than the opinions of later commentators. Ideal as a college American history supplement or a homeschool American history resource, this classic American history series volume opens a direct window onto nineteenth century America and the wider story of the pre 1900 United States. Students, general readers and collectors of documentary history of America will value the way Hart arranges the material so that causes, conflicts and transformations can be traced in the documents themselves. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure for anyone who treasures original sources and enduring scholarship.
