This vintage copy of “Source-Book of American History” offers a window into the early 20th century study of American history. Edited by Albert Bushnell Hart, a prominent historian and educator at Harvard University, this sourcebook was designed for use in schools and by general readers seeking primary sources on the nation’s past. Published in an era when history education was evolving from rote memorization to a more critical examination of original documents, this volume reflects the progressive pedagogical approaches of its time.
Hart’s meticulous curation of sources, from colonial charters to presidential speeches, provides a rich tapestry of perspectives on pivotal events and figures. For collectors, this well-worn copy bears the patina of a book that has been actively studied and appreciated over decades. Its flaws are a testament to its enduring value as a reference work and a reminder of the ongoing quest to understand the American experience through its own words and records.
