From the earliest recorded glimpses of the continent to the dawn of the twentieth century, Harper's Encyclopaedia of United States History from 485 A.D. to 1905 gathers a nation into one sweeping, authoritative record. History comes vividly alive here. Volume VIII of Benson John Lossing's united states history encyclopedia offers clear entries on the people, places, conflicts and ideas that shaped America. Drawing on the insight of a leading 19th-century historian, it moves through colonial and revolutionary America, the early American republic era, early American political history, the growth of the 19th century United States, the Civil War and Reconstruction, and the new realities of industrial power. As an american history reference book within a renowned multi volume history collection, it serves both as a dependable history students reference guide and homeschool American history resource, and as a rewarding companion for general readers. For collectors of classic scholarship, this is Harpers US history encyclopedia at its most detailed and ambitious: concise yet expansive, deeply human, a comprehensive US history reference shaped by a near-contemporary of many of the events described. Originally compiled when the nation was absorbing the upheavals of the previous century, this volume reflects the language, priorities and self-understanding of its age, making it as revealing a historical artefact as a source of information. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, it preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
