Description
"A masterful introduction to United States historiography. Couvares provides students a useful introduction to how historians have thought about the past. Although clearly it is intended for classroom use, I suspect many graduate students preparing for general exams and not a few professors trying to get up to speed on some topics will want to read it as well." - Gaines M. Foster, author of The Limits of the Lost Cause: Essays on Civil War Memory "Couvares offers a jargon-free, accessible history of American historiography that will be immensely useful to undergraduates and graduate students alike." - Gautham Rao, author of National Duties: Custom Houses and the Making of the American State
