1 review

Oxford University Press, USA, 2002

The Mystic Chords of Memory
An excellent book containing many of the best writings of our country's political heritage. Professor Gienapp does what is needed in this type of introductory book: He has chosen text wisely and started each selection of Abraham Lincoln's work with a short but helpful introduction. There is a reason Lincoln is our greatest president. This book is perfect for one who would like to gain a direct ...

William E. Gienapp

W. W. Norton & Company, 2001

Good collection of primary documents useful for accompanying a more complete chronology
Gienapp's document collection is extremely useful for research and historical argument papers. It is well-organized and he has also inserted extremely useful introductions to each piece, which is abridged to ideal length (average 1-1 1/2 pages) and written in nice large easy-to-read print. The collection is in chronological order and contains gems such as important speeches like the Freeport ...

The Origins of the Republican Party, 1852-1856

Oxford University Press, USA, 1988

A Seriously Good Serious Book
Gienapp was my favorite professor as an undergrad at Harvard, but he never assigned this book for any of his classes. With a long flight ahead of me, I finally picked it up. It is so rare to find a weighty "academic" tome written so artfully. The voluminous citations do not detract from the book's readability. For someone interested in antebellum US political history, it is a MUST READ ...

Nation of Nations, Concise- Text Only
James West Davidson, William E. Gienapp, ...

A world that has become suddenly and dangerously smaller requires an outlook that has become wider. Nation of Nations has always had a global approach to its narrative, placing chapters into perspective with Global Essays at the beginning of each part, and a Global Timeline correlating key national and international trends and events.
