teachers, and students of early American history aware of books
written in the field between 1951 and 1960. He offers descriptions

of the books. He also suggests which works in the field have had
significant scholarly impact. This volume may boast extensive
indexes by subject and author, thematic chapters, book summaries
that cover subject matter, scope and, often, argument and approach,
and OCLC accession numbers to aid in edition identification and
book location.
