Revolutionary America, 1750-1815: Sources and Interpretation

Review

"Cynthia Kierner's excellent new collection of primary sources on the American Revolution fills a great gap in the literature. Expertly introduced by short interpretative essays that reflect the latest historiographical developments, Kierner's chapters provide rich source material for advanced courses on revolutionary America and for teachers and scholars looking for a convenient compendium of the key texts. A fine achievement." — Peter Onuf, University of Virginia

"Kierner has created well-conceptualized chapters that synthesize an enormous amount of material, and she has done so in more engaging ways than one typically finds in comparable treatments of the Revolution." — Jean B. Lee, University of Wisconsin
