Lives and Times is a biographical reader designed to acquaint
students with major issues in American history through the lives of
individuals, prominent and otherwise, whose ideas and activities
were crucial in shaping the course of the nation's history.
Employing a narrative style, each volume consists of thirteen
chapters in which the lives of two individuals are examined in the
broader context of major historical themes. Readers will find not
only a diversity of individuals profiled including Mary Dyer and
Cotton Mather, Andrew Jackson and Tecumseh, and John Brown and
Abraham Lincoln but also themes spanning political, economic,
social, cultural, intellectual and military history. This combined
biographical/thematic approach provides the reader with more
extensive biographical information and a fuller examination of key
issues than is commonly offered in core texts. Each chapter also
offers study questions and a bibliography. Also Available: Lives
and Times: Individuals and Issues in American History: Since 1865
by Blaine T. Browne and Robert C. Cottrell
