American Decades; Primary Sources - Vol 1-10

This is designed as a stand-alone set and also as a companion to Gale's ten volume "American Decades" series.

Each volume covers a decade in American history corresponding to an original "American Decades" volume, amplifying and illuminating the decade with first-hand accounts and other primary source documentation.

Each volume includes approximately 165 full-text or excerpted historical documents from the period representing a diversity of views that provide insight into the seminal issues, themes, movements and events from the decade.

These documents include advertisements, commercials, diaries, literary works, newspaper articles, memoirs, periodical articles, speeches and other types of primary source materials.
