Great for History Teachers!

I am a former student of Dr. Bilhartz's who used this textbook in class. The text is full of interesting primary sources that can be examined for class discussion. Some of my favorite class discussions derived from the sources used to decipher the intent of Aaron Burr to kill Alexander Hamilton and the examination of "'Twas the Night Before Christmas." Also - the text includes a section on the Lincoln/Douglas debates which will bring your concept of Abraham Lincoln to a new level. A fabulous text to teach historical research - and this is coming from the student! By the way - I didn't sell back the book.
