Please try again later. After decades of poking around in libraries, I found much that was familiar in these pages, but not all by any means. I soon came to the conclusion that I would pass the book along to my grandchildren after they entered college. The book is most appropriate for history majors, but it can usefully help students with any major.

One person found this helpful. I found this book to be highly informational and extremely well-written. This is a must have book for anyone, young or old, who utilizes resources and researches texts.
