A two-volume anthology of source readings for maritime history
courses "An indispensable resource for anyone interested in
teaching American maritime history. This well-organized and edited
collection of primary documents will significantly advance
students' knowledge of the fundamental role the sea has played in
our nation's past."--Christopher P. Magra, California State
University at Northridge "The sources in these volumes vividly
illustrate the rich maritime tradition that forms the core of
American social, economic, political, military, and diplomatic
development over two centuries."--Kenneth J. Blume, author of
Historical Dictionary of U.S. Diplomacy from the Civil War to World
War I "This is the most comprehensive collection of maritime
history documents ever published. Drawn from a wide variety of
sources, they survey virtually every aspect of American maritime
history including maritime exploration, fishing and whaling, labor,
diplomacy and warfare, trade and travel, and ecology."--James C.
Bradford, Texas A&M University Intended as a text for college
and advanced high school students, Voyages covers the entirety of
the American maritime experience, from the discovery of the
continent to the present. Published in cooperation with the
National Maritime Historical Society, the selections chosen for
this anthology of primary texts and images place equal emphasis on
the ages of sail and steam, on the Atlantic and Pacific, on the
Gulf Coasts and the Great Lakes, and on the high seas and inland
rivers. The texts have been chosen to provide students with
interesting, usable, and historically significant documents that
will prompt class discussion and critical thinking. In each case,
the material is linked to the larger context of American history,
including issues of gender, race, power, labor, and the
environment. Joshua Smith is associate professor of humanities at
the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
