This three-volume encyclopedia brings to light many of the
documents that are such a significant part of America's history.
Arranged to match the 10 eras outlined in the National Standards
for United States History, this collection provides not only the
documents, but also the background information to help students
place the documents in their historical context. In addition to
important political documents, such as the Declaration of
Independence and the Constitution, the collection also includes key
cultural documents, such as Ralph Waldo Emerson's "American
Scholar" speech, and material from President Nixon's visit with
Elvis Presley. Along with the text of the documents and concise
introductions to each one, Encyclopedia of American Historical
Documents also provides sources for further research and a timeline
to help place events in chronological order.
