Open this monumental fifth volume of Harper's Encyclopaedia of United States History and stand inside the long unfolding of American experience. History here feels vividly near. Conceived by Benson John Lossing, one of the great narrators of the 19th century United States, this American history encyclopedia gathers a wealth of concise, authoritative entries spanning from 458 A.D. to 1909. Battles and laws, states and cities, reform movements, leaders and everyday life: each entry anchors the vast sweep of colonial America history, the early American republic, the tumultuous 19th century United States and the emerging modern nation in clear, accessible prose, making it a trusted United States history reference for both study and browsing. As a comprehensive US history volume shaped on the original Benson John Lossing history plan, Volume V offers a panoramic Civil War era overview, careful presidential history entries and a rich context for later events, invaluable as a reference for history students and an essential cornerstone of any research libraries collection or serious home shelf of classic American history works. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
