Put Diverse Histories at the Heart of Your Course

Thinking through Sources for Exploring American Histories is a two-volume primary sources reader that supplements the document projects in the textbook. Each chapter of the reader presents five carefully selected documents that connect to topics in each chapter of Exploring American Histories. New Central Questions at the beginning of each chapter provide a framework and a focus for the documents that follow. Headnotes placed strategically before each document give students just enough context, and Interpret the Evidence and Put It in Context questions at the end of each chapter provide a starting point for classroom discussion or a written assignment. This collection of sources is available both in print and in LaunchPad with innovative auto-graded assessment.

Features

Primary Source Projects focus on themes and events related to the parent textbook chapters. Each chapter of Thinking through Sources for Exploring American Histories has approximately five documents all centered on a theme or event related to the corresponding chapter in the textbook. Document Projects include "Loyalists in the American Revolution," "The Cherokee Removal," "Women in the West," and "The Scopes 'Monkey Trial."

An introductory essay provides historical context for each document project.
Each chapter of the reader begins with a short introduction that explains how the documents that follow fit into the historical narrative.

A headnote introduces students to each document while leaving room for their own interpretation.
These brief introductions provide the provenance of the document and historical context to orient the student.

Interpret the Evidence and Put it in Context questions follow each project
and help students analyze the documents and consider them within the broader discussion of a particular moment in history.

New to This Edition

An expanded art program strengthens student understanding of society’s reactions to developments and events and includes over 10 new images throughout the books, including art such as Paul Revere’s The Able Doctor, or the American Swallowing the Bitter Draught and Jishiro Miyauchi’s Heart Mountain.
 
Central Questions give students a concept to focus on while reading each project.
These questions are located at the beginning of each chapter and bring the sources together through asking a single question, such as ”What did the creators of these maps choose to include, what did they leave out, and how did these maps help shape European attitudes toward Africa and the Western Hemisphere?” or “Explain the political, cultural, and regional differences that shaped the different viewpoints about faith, science, and the Scopes trial.”

“Many of the documents are well chosen and both relate to the chapters in Exploring American Histories and, in the better chapters, conflict in intriguing ways which fuels deliberative discussions. Thinking Through Sources moves beyond a collection of primary sources to a series of valuable sources and learning activities intentionally organized to teach both historical content and the historical thinking skills.”
— Richard Hughes, Illinois State University

“The real benefit of this textbook is the embedded primary documents that are combined with a variety of quizzes that not only test students about their comprehension of the documents but also prepare them to write essays.”
— Craig Pascoe, Georgia College & State University

“Thinking through Sources for Exploring American Histories is an excellent reader. I'm impressed by the variety of different kind of sources, the diversity of voices and perspectives presented, and the organization of the reader. This reader is unique, in that it helps to group sources around a central idea or theme, and then directs students in their interpretation and analysis.”
— Anderson Rouse, University of North Carolina at Greensboro

“The topics cover a range of subfields in history and the sources are well-chosen and invite students to consider a particular issue from a range of perspectives. The reading is dense (and visual sources are dense as well), but the chapters are an appropriate length to require students to read. This is a very short and manageable reader. It is an easy and effective way to incorporate primary sources into the survey classroom.”
— Charlotte Haller, Worcester State University
