For the Record: A Documentary History of America tells the stories of American history through in-depth primary sources, both textual and visual, that give students more opportunities to explore diverse voices from the past. A wide variety of longer archival sources—including government documents, newspapers, speeches, letters, and contemporary literature—are surrounded by carefully considered pedagogical features that help students understand big-picture context and dig deeply into the readings. The new edition incorporates feedback from a range of instructors to ensure wide appeal and strong classroom performance as well as a new focus on the diverse experiences of women in American history.
