HIST 70603: Seminar in US History: Readings in Early American History, Beginnings to 1877 |

The purpose of this course is to introduce students to a broad range of the scholarly literature
on American history from pre-Columbian times through Reconstruction. Readings have been chosen because
of their importance in shaping a major historiographical school of thought on a given subject, or they
stand as a representative work of a major school, or they are otherwise important for methodological reasons. |
