"A major contribution to the study of history"
So says ARBA (American Reference Books Annual) in its review of Milestone Documents in American History. The full review is posted at ARBA’s online subscription site but is also available free at Salem Press’s Web site. Here are a couple of highlights from the review:
“A first-rate effort…. It will undoubtedly become the premier reference work devoted to the subject.”
“The signed essays are comprehensive, the writing is terrific, the research is outstanding, and the depth of analysis noteworthy.”
“Two forthcoming companion sets in the series, Milestone Documents of American Leaders and Milestone Documents in World History will be offered in 2009, and if they meet the high editorial standards of this first offering, will make for a major contribution to the study of history unmatched in its field.”
