Whose American Revolution Was It?

Historians Interpret the Founding

By: Alfred F. Young,Gregory H. Nobles

The meaning of the American Revolution has always been a much contested question, and asking it is particularly important today: the standard, easily digested narrative puts the Founding Fathers at the head of a unified movement, failing to acknowledge the deep divisions in Revolutionary-era society and the many different historical interpretations that have followed. Whose American Revolution Was It? speaks both to the ways diverse groups of Americans who lived through the Revolution might have answered that question and to the different ways historians through the decades have interpreted the Revolution for our own time. As the only volume to offer an accessible and sweeping discussion of the period's historiography and its historians, Whose American Revolution Was It? is an essential reference for anyone studying early American history. The first section, by Alfred F. Young, begins in 1925 with historian J. Franklin Jameson and takes the reader through the successive schools of interpretation up to the 1990s. The second section, by Gregory H. Nobles, focuses primarily on the ways present-day historians have expanded our understanding of the broader social history of the Revolution, bringing onto the stage farmers and artisans, who made up the majority of white men, as well as African Americans, Native Americans, and women of all social classes.

Circle the Wagons!

Attacks on Wagon Trains in History and Hollywood Films

By: Gregory F. Michno,Susan J. Michno

It’s a cinematic image as familiar as John Wayne’s face: a wagon train circling as a defensive maneuver against Indian attacks. This book examines actual and fictional wagon-train battles and compares them for realism. It also describes how fledgling Hollywood portrayed the concept of westward migration but, as the evolving industry became more accurate in historical detail, how filmmakers then lost sight of the big picture.

American Frontiers

Cultural Encounters and Continental Conquest

By: Gregory H. Nobles

With clarity and vigor, Gregory H. Nobles shows how American leaders, beginning with Washington and Jefferson, pursued a policy of national expansion and development that enabled the United States to become the dominant power on the North American continent. Within this broad framework he also explores the settlers' diverse and complex interactions with Indians as enemies, allies, and trading partners. The result is a sensitive and perceptive account of the patterns of contact and conquest on America's frontiers over the course of four centuries.

Ornithology and Enterprise

Making and Marketing John James Audubon's 'the Birds of America'

By: Gregory H. Nobles,American Antiquarian Society

John James Audubon's double elephant folio edition of "The Birds of America" (4 vols., 1827-38) still stands as one of hte most remarkable artistic and scientific achievements in the history of the book, a massive work of natural history that offers the reader an innovative interplay between image and text. For Audubon,though, producing this "Great Work" proved to be as much about entrepreneurship as ornithology. The changs in the popular perception of Audubon's birds from his time to our own is the background for looking at the connection betwen the cultural and commercial significance of this big book about birds, which represents both an investigation of nature and an investment in art. The varius ways people have valued Audubon's work leads to the qustion of whether "the Birds of America" is--or should be--a book at all.
