In speaking about the law, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. once said,
"To know what it is, we must know what it has been, and what it
tends to become." G. Edward White, a leading legal historian,
presents Law in American History, a two-volume, comprehensive
narrative history of American law from the colonial period to the
present. In this first volume, White explores the key turning
points in roughly the first half of the American legal system, from
the development of order in the colonies, to the signing of the
Constitution, to the dissolution of the Union just before the Civil
War. In addition to these events, White analyzes issues like race,
gender, and slavery that undergird the development of American
jurisprudence. Along the way, he provides a compelling case for why
law can be seen as the key to understanding the development of
American life as we know it, shaping virtually every aspect of the
American experience from the way we handle international relations
to the food we choose to eat and drink. Thought-provoking and
artfully written, Law in American History, Vol. 1 is an essential
text for both students of law and general readers alike.
