Description
Edited by one of the authors of The American Promise, this highly regarded primary-source collection complements the textbook by offering four or five documents for each chapter. The new edition provides a variety of compelling features while retaining its low cost and brevity: a rich selection of over 125 documents that reflects a broad range of perspectives, balancing accounts by well-known figures with the voices of ordinary people; a wide array of sources that vividly illustrate the diversity of materials with which historians work; and user-friendly editorial apparatus such as chapter introductions, headnotes, and an Introduction for Students on the goals and methods of source analysis. One-fourth new sources offer more material on social and cultural history, and expanded questions aid students' understanding, analysis, and comparison of the sources.
