Gleanings From The Horvest Field Of American History (Part Xi)

Rare voices, fierce arguments, and forgotten controversies lie beneath the surface of official history. In Gleanings From The Horvest Field Of American History (Part XI), Henry B. Dawson uncovers them with the care of an archivist and the judgement of a seasoned narrator. The past is never silent. Drawing on obscure pamphlets, records and long-neglected narratives, he shapes a sequence of american history essays that illuminate early american history topics from colonial american politics to the turbulent dawn of early United States history. Both a historical documents collection and an interpretive primary source anthology, this volume invites reflective reading, close study and quiet browsing alike, ideal for american history buffs as well as newcomers to colonial america studies and the wider story of 18th century America. As Part XI in Dawson’s ambitious sequence on early American and revolutionary-era history, the book stands as an academic history reference crafted in an accessible, essayistic style, valuable to collectors of founding era documents and students of revolutionary era scholarship alike. Its blend of narrative, commentary and documentary material opens windows onto the evolving ideas, loyalties and conflicts that shaped the young republic.
