Sources that illustrate the major forces that shaped American history

Designed for America’s History, Ninth Edition, this two-volume primary source reader offers a chorus of voices from the past carefully selected to enrich the study of U.S. history. Five to six documents per chapter, ranging from speeches and political cartoons by celebrated historical figures to personal letters and diary entries by ordinary people, foster historical thinking skills while putting a human face on America’s diverse history. To support the structure of the parent text, unique part document sets at the end of each part present sources that illustrate the major themes of each section. Brief introductions place each document in historical context, and questions for analysis help students practice historical thinking skills and link individual sources to larger themes.

Features

Diverse and thoughtfully chosen documents support the periodization and themes of the parent text, while giving students practice in evaluating a wide range of visual and documentary primary source evidence.

An Introduction for Students explains the importance of primary sources and guides students through the process of document analysis.

Section introductions and document headnotes situate sources within their wider historical context.

Individual questions for analysis and end of chapter comparative questions help students practice historical thinking skills and connect sources to major themes and key concepts from the chapter.

Part document sets at the end of each part present 5-6 sources chosen specifically to illustrate the major themes and developments covered in each of the parent text’s nine thematic parts, allowing students to make comparisons and connections across time and place.

Primary source quizzes accompany every document in the LaunchPad for America’s History.

New to This Edition

More visual sources have been included in the second edition, including photographs that capture moments of political mobilization, such as women’s rights marches, service-sector workers protesting the effects of globalization, and a more recent photograph of protestors mobilizing against President Trump’s 2017 immigration policies.

New text sources included throughout, including a continued emphasis on the first-person experience. For example, in Chapter 12, Susan Magoffin’s 1846 diary of her experiences traveling along the Santa Fe Trail provides an eye-opening account of westward migration and the beginnings of the U.S.–Mexico War. In Chapter 13, Union Officer Ambrose Bierce’s arresting first-hand account of the Civil War’s gruesome battle at Shiloh evokes the war’s chaos and horror.

“This reader includes the most diverse set of documents that incorporates the American landscape of diverse people and views. It has a larger number of readings than traditional readers and provides students with a much more comprehensive view of social history than most readers.”
– Peter Acsay, University of Missouri, St. Louis

“Sources for America’s History provides a wide variety of short, readable primary documents as well as a host of ways to use them, with questions for each document as well as for each section. Additionally, it offers more comprehensive chronological, thematic sets for use. The latter feature is the thing that most made it stand out to me.”
– Karen Phoenix, Washington State University
