The third edition of the Dictionary of American History (Stanley I. Kutler, ed. in chief) is the first comprehensive revision of the classic Scribner reference source, originally published in 1940. Entries from previous editions have been updated and revised in light of historical developments and current scholarship, and over 800 entirely new entries have been commissioned to cover recent events ("Bush v. Gore") and topics neglected by previous editions ("Harlem Renaissance"). For the first time, illustrations and maps will be incorporated into the main body of the work, illuminating the text of the Dictionary and thereby enriching the reader's experience. This work will serve students, scholars, and the interested general reader in search of a quick and authoritative reference covering a wide range of topics in American history-from the well-studied ("Louisiana Purchase") to the obscure ("Camels in the West").
Some highlights of this new 10 volume set are:
Over 4,400 A-Z articles, ranging in length from 100 to 8,000 words
Approximately 1,500 illustrations
Approximately 300 maps
Review:
"The new set is 20 percent larger than the 1976 version, is illustrated for the first time with some 1,200 photos and 252 maps, and employs more cross-referencing. ... The revision was begun in 1996 and the resulting work still offers excellent overviews of the history of abortion, assassinations, the Ashcan School, urbanization, and American Presidential elections; new categories include such modern topics as Transplants and Organ Donation, Kwanza, DVDs, and the World Trade Center. One can read a superb essay by Mark T. Berger on the UN's changing place in the world or Carol F. Karlsen's survey of witchcraft...While reflecting an expansion in the idea of what and who history now includes, this venerable work as been respectfully updated by editor Kutler. Combining accuracy with literary verve, this new edition is very much in the spirit of its superb predecessors and is highly recommended for libraries needing a solid American history collection."
