SYNOPSIS:2 Volume boxed Set. The Historians' History of the United States, compiled and edited by Andrew S. Berky and James P. Shenton, is a two-volume historical anthology presenting a pageant of American history. Chronologically structured from the pre-colonial era through the mid-twentieth century, the work brings together chapters and essays by American historical scholars, including Francis Parkman, Henry Adams, George Bancroft, and Charles A. Beard, offering diverse analytical perspectives on the political, social, and economic milestones that shaped the nation.
First published in 1966 by G.P. Putnam's Sons in New York, the anthology also functions as a survey of how American historical writing itself evolved across two centuries. By integrating writings from different eras and academic traditions, it serves as a reference work for libraries and students of American historiography.
Editors Andrew S. Berky, a specialist in early Pennsylvania history and director of the Schwenkfelder Library, and James P. Shenton, a professor of history at Columbia University and Civil War scholar, compiled these volumes to offer students and historians a multifaceted overview of the nation's historical literature. The set was issued with illustrated dust jackets featuring a patriotic American eagle motif and housed in a publisher's slipcase.
