Designed to give students an up-close and personal view of history, American History in a Box offers students the opportunity to experience written documents, visual materials, material culture artifacts, and maps—the materials historians actually work with to decipher the past. Completely unique in this market, American History in a Box is innovative and exciting, allowing students to learn first-hand what history is and what historians actually do. In each box there are 12 tabbed folders, and each folder contains loose facsimiles for students to explore. In addition to the documents, students will also obtain a four-page pamphlet that describes the issues and themes of the folders. Pedagogical materials will help them explore the ramifications of these sources, as they practice the art of historical analysis.
