ALBUM OF AMERICAN HISTORY 

Colonial Period

by James Truslow Adams

1944, Peoples Book Club Edition, Consolidated Book Publishers, Chicago, 411 pages.

From the Dust Jacket, “The intent of the present work is to tell the history of America through pictures made at the time the history was being made. The test, in general, has been: Is the picture authentic; was it made during the period it represents; and does it illustrate some significant aspect of the life of the times? In this work the pictures themselves are the history, and the text assumes the subordinate role which pictures have had in the past.”

Enhanced with many hundreds of historical drawings, photographs, and illustrations.
