Description
In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt addressed the American Historical Association to call for American history to be written as compelling stories of literary quality. Editor Allen Johnson of Yale University responded by publishing the Chronicles of America series: 50 succinct volumes on regional and thematic American history. These books, intended for secondary schools and college students, are expository works of American history composed by competent historians in the 1920's, well before the special pleading and upending of social norms typical of histories after 1970. This series is focused on the mainstream of American political life and leadership from its initial volumes on Native Americans and European colonists to its final volumes on Woodrow Wilson, Canada, and the Hispanic Republics to our South.
Skinner's Adventures of Oregon concerns the colonial stage of the American Northwest, the arrival of the Americans and the British Canadians in the great quest for furs, and the early missions of the Catholics and American Protestants.
This work has been formatted and reprinted for Tall Men Books. It is not a facsimile reprint.
