It is in the belief that the examination of primary sources can be a useful exercise in survey courses in American history that we have prepared An American Harvest. Although it can be used alone in courses organized around "problems' or "issues" and in classes that are blessedly small, we have arranged the reading material in ten sections corresponding to the periods into which American history is usually divided so that An American Harvest may be assigned in conjunction with any of the standard textbooks. Within each section are five or six documents focusing on major questions of public policy. In a foreword to each document we explain its historical context. In an afterword we comment on its subsequent history and significance. -- excepts from book's preface
