A recent addition to the Cudahy Library Reference Collection, American History through Literature, 1820-1870 and American History through Literature, 1870-1920, place literature in historical and cultural context. Many entries are illustrated; all end with a bibliography of additional reading, both primary and secondary. To view the Pegasus record for the 1820-1870 volumes, click here.
