MIERS, EARL SCHENCK editor The American story. the age of exploration to the age of the atom.
Great Neck, NY Channel Press 1956 Hard Cover Very Good
Introduction by Allan Nevins. Illustrated with contemporary prints and photos. 352 pages, illustrations, maps, cloth, very good. From the publisher: The American Story is the work of sixty leading American historians - Pulitzer Prize winners, Bancroft Award recipients, leading educators, authors and editors - each represented with a chapter on the person or period in America's past that is the contributor's particular field of interest. The sum of this hitherto-unpublished material is an excitingly readable history of the nation fro the time of the Viking explorations to the era of Cold War. The book has been edited by Earl Schenck Miers, whose connective commentary makes it a remarkable complete and cohesive work. It is illustrated with drawings, photographs, and contemporary cartoons. It is a uniquely informative, anecdotal volume. Reading it is somewhat like conversing with each contributor, and hearing each in turn describes the outlines and dimensions, the features and facts of the American story. At times the focus is on men who shaped the nation: Carl Bridenbaugh on William Penn, Thomas J. Wertenbaker on Benjamin Franklin, Dumas Malone on George Washington, Bruce Catton on Grant and Lee, Frank Freidel on Franklin Roosevelt. At other times the writers' viewpoints are events and the collision of concepts: Claude G. Bowers tells of the Alien and Sedition Acts, Carl Carmer relates the building of 'Clinton's Ditch,' Allan Devins delineates the 'Age of Enterprise,' Agnes Rogers Allen discusses the changing status of women, Waldemar Kaempffert analyzes the effects of the Atomic Age.
