Summary:

"THE AMERICAN HISTORICAL SOURCES SERIES: RESEARCH AND INTERPRETATION is devoted to the exploration of aspects of American history and to the process of interpreting historical evidence. The introduction to each volume will be followed by some of the key documents used to prepare the essay. Readers are thus invited to share in the experience of turning raw evidence into history. The essays have been written especially for this series and represent contributions to historical knowledge as well as demonstrations in the writing of history based upon sources included in these works." -LORMAN RATNER, Editor-
