3.[no image]Washington's Crossing
from Oxford University Press
Price: $138.73

Customer Review:
I would recommend this book to anyone who had interest in the New Jersey Campaign. It gives a good background view on the disaterous New York Campaign and the retreat across New Jersey. Sometimes the book seems to drag a little bit, but that is only becuase of the great detail in the book.

4.Albion s Seed: Four British Folkways in America (America: a Cultural History)Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in America (America: a Cultural History)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $23.07

Customer Review:
I have sometimes wondered what I am. I am of course me, but sometimes it seems there is no "we" that quite fits the "me". I am hardly alone in this and there are probably many Americans that feel this way.
Albion's Seed is a grand overview of where America comes from. Where our values and... more info

5.[no image]Historians' fallacies: Toward a logic of historical thought
from Harper & Row

Customer Review:
This is an excellent book. Will try not to be repetitious. As a reader you should be mindful about Mr. F assumptions. Mr. F is an empiricist and this greatly affects his characterization of some of the fallacies. Mr. F is fallacious by his own standards in this respect. The other assumption that... more info

from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $18.45

Customer Review:
Well written and detailed analysis of a recurring pattern the author has identified across the last 6 centuries. The book is quite thick, but most of it are bibliographical and reference notes (very detailed) and a lot of charts, so reading is easy and smooth.
The theory is well presented and... more info

This very interesting book takes an in-depth look at Virginia history and how migration from Virginia affected the states west of Virginia. It's of particular interest to Virginians and to anyone studying the spread of attitudes in the USA.

8.Liberty and Freedom: A Visual History of America s Founding Ideas (America: a Cultural History)Liberty and Freedom: A Visual History of America's Founding Ideas (America: a Cultural History)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $33.59

Customer Review:
If it weren't so massive, this might be a decent beach read. Unfortunately, while Fischer's efforts to explore how notions of "liberty" and "freedom" have evolved in the US is admirable, the result is very disappointing -- the book is diffuse and often superficial. Organized into thematic "episodes"... more info

10.[no image]The Revolution of American Conservatism: The Federalist Party in the Era of Jeffersonian Democracy
from University Of Chicago Press

Customer Review:
This is a well written investigation into the change that befell the second generation of the Federalist Party in light of their sound defeat at the polls in 1800. Fischer's extensive footnoting simplifies further investigation of this topic. While written several years ago, it continues to be one... more info
