Description

VOICES OF THE AMERICAN PAST is a two-volume reader that presents a variety of diverse perspectives through more than 240 primary sources. Excerpts from speeches; letters; journals; magazine articles; hearings and government documents raise issues from both public and private aspects of American life throughout history. A "Guide to Reading and Interpreting Documents" in the front matter explains how and why historians use primary source evidence; and outlines basic points to help readers learn to analyze sources. Brief headnotes set each source into context. "Questions to Consider" precede each document; offering prompts for critical thinking and reflection. The volumes are organized chronologically into 27 chapters; with the Reconstruction chapter overlapping in both volumes.
