Summary
Designed to give students an up-close and personal view of history,American History First Hand: Working with Primary Sourcesoffers students the opportunity to experience written documents, visual materials, material culture artifacts, and maps-the materials historians actually work with to decipher the past. Completely unique in this market,American History First Hand: Working with Primary Sourcesis innovative and exciting, allowing students to learn first-hand what history is and what historians actually do. In each volume, there are 12 archives, with each archive containing loose facsimiles for students to explore.
