Description

This is the second of two volumes which take a biographical approach to portray American history as the story of real people who actually lived, struggled, enjoyed triumphs and suffered failures. The articles in each chapter provide different perspectives on a period or historical question, and each selection has been chosen for its literary merit, its importance to historical scholarship, and its potential for exciting students' interest.
