Synopsis: * Pedagogical aids and apparatus are designed to help students read and interpret primary sources and use the documents in the collection to gain a broader understanding of the nation's past and the diverse people who created it. * Chapter introductions present the broad outlines of the historical era addressed by the documents. Each selection begins with an introductory headnote that identifies the author of the piece and places the document within its historical context. * Questions at the end of each excerpt test students' comprehension of the selection. * Questions at the end of each chapter invite comparisons, contrasts, analysis, and reflection as they probe students' deeper understanding of the documents and the period of American history that they illuminate. * Split between two volumes, this chronological text is conveniently tailored to match the split volumes of the survey text it accompanies. * Selections in this volume include both classic and unusual documents which give life and detail to a specific section of American history. http://www.ablongman.com/catalog/academic/product/0,1144,0321395913-FEA,00.html
