Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. 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.Holland Thompson's history of the New South tells the story of the return to home rule after the end of Reconstruction and the rise of the Bourbon Democrats and industrial progressives in Dixie. The South's slow adaptation from agriculture to industry was accompanied by the development, at the turn of the century, of Jim Crow segregation laws and the new mill towns that brought textiles and other industries into the South.

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1988). (1981) 1988 2nd edition. Pp295. Sepia photographs, illustrations. Blue cloth. Very good in dust-wrapper. "Many a book-loving hunter dreams of owning one of those rare old volumes known as handbooks for the blackpowder sportsman. Classics such as Frank Forester's Field Sports were acclaimed in mid-nineteenth century newspaper reviews as "indispensable" to every hunter - necessary reading for all who "shoulder a fowling piece or rifle." The Muzzleloading Hunter is today's equivalent of such indispensable black powder handbooks. We are proud to present the first complete treatise on this time-honored hunting sport to be written in recent history for the twentieth century sportsman. This is the most up-to-date treatment of the subject. And it is also a salute to our historic past, designed in the tradition of antique hunting books. Even the illustrations blend the old with the new, for the pages are embellished with rare nineteenth century engravings and woodcuts as well as photographs showing the latest gear, guns, techniques and activities."
