This well-worn copy of Volume 2 of Samuel Eliot Morison’s seminal work “The Growth of The American Republic” is a testament to its enduring value as a scholarly reference. Despite its age and visible signs of use, the binding remains intact, and the pages are largely clean and readable. Morison, a renowned historian and two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, meticulously chronicled the formative years of the United States, from the late colonial period through the Civil War. His nuanced analysis and vivid narratives brought to life the struggles, triumphs, and complexities that shaped the nation’s early development. This volume covers the pivotal era from 1837 to 1865, encompassing the westward expansion, the Mexican-American War, and the Civil War’s tumultuous years. While lacking a dust jacket, this fifth printing edition offers collectors and history enthusiasts an opportunity to own a piece of Morison’s influential scholarship at an accessible price point.
