American History / Primary Source Documents / U.S. Political & Constitutional History.
Documents of American History, edited by noted American historian Henry Steele Commager. Sixth Edition, published by Appleton-Century-Crofts, New York, 1958.
A substantial historical reference bringing together important original documents and source material from across American history. Rather than presenting history solely through later narrative, the volume allows readers to examine laws, government reports, court decisions, political writings, treaties, and other historical records in their documentary form.
The collection reaches across major periods and subjects in United States history, including the colonial and Revolutionary eras, formation and expansion of the United States, constitutional and political development, territorial expansion, major Supreme Court decisions, and later American political and social history. Examples pictured include Thomas Jefferson’s 1784 report concerning government of the western territory and the landmark 1925 Supreme Court case Pierce v. Society of Sisters.
An excellent large-format reference for students, researchers, historians, collectors of Americana, and anyone interested in studying American history through its documentary record.
This is the Sixth Edition with a 1958 copyright by Appleton-Century-Crofts. Hardcover in blue cloth with spine lettering.
Condition: Vintage used condition. Covers show visible spotting, rubbing, discoloration and general shelf wear, with additional wear/fraying at corners and spine extremities. Page edges are age-toned, and areas of separation/splitting are visible within the text block along the fore-edge as pictured. Interior pages shown remain readable and generally clean.
