| Summary |
"How is American history written? In a series of review essays, Alan Taylor provides his own answer to this question." "Together these reviews provide the general reader a rich introduction to their subjects. The books reviewed span an enormous range of scholarship, from popular biographies of Founding Fathers, to investigations of murders of prostitutes, to discussions of frontier technology."--Jacket. |
