Description: MAJOR MOMENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY - BY THOSE WHO WERE THERE IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A BOOK THAT ENCOMPASSES the full flavor and range of American history in a single volume, this may be it. Not only is it informative, it is highly entertaining. The late Charles Kuralt who charmed millions of Americans with his reports from around the country, noted: "It's a book I'll turn to often for research, and more often for pleasure. Eyewitness to America is the best Americana collection on my shelf." This wonderful anthology collects accounts of major events over the past 500 years in the words of people who were there and saw what was happening. From the earliest days of discovery and colonization to today's space and high-tech headlines, true-life stories come to life with immediacy. It is a perfect night-table companion - a few brief reports before lights out. A warning though: readers could be so fascinated that the bedside light could be kept on until the wee hours. You might not want that! THIS FIRST EDITION HARDCOVER VOLUME is in very good condition with crisp and unmarked pages, a firm and square binding and an intact dust-jacket that we have protected with a removable Brodart plastic cover to keep it in good shape because members of the family are bound to take it down often from the bookshelves. In addition to a general index, the editor, David Colbert, provides source notes and a bibliography for further research. There are no signs of previous ownership such as an inscription or a bookplate. There is a sight stain on the front page ends but the book has been gently read.
