Cambridge Scholars Publishing Handbook of American Prehistory and History

This book offers an innovative, exciting and dynamic way to study American history, culture and society since it covers the history of the nation from the colonial period up to the 20th century. The book is divided into two different, but connected, parts. The first section details not only how important primary sources (texts, maps, images...) are, but also how to analyze them in a scholarly manner. This part will help students in retrieving, testing and quoting online references when studying or writing their American History essays and exams. The second part offers 20 different historical texts from the colonial period to the twentieth century. It also includes webography to help students learning autonomously and a set of activities for each text. Consequently, this handbook can be used and enjoyed not only by students, but also by professors.
