When I began to develop a reading list for advanced undergraduate students
for a new course intended to be the American history component of a
traditional humanities curricula I thought it would be helpful to ask
those who teach about the United States in foreign countries what they
considered the essential primary sources. In addition to such works as
The Federalist Papers, Democracy in America, etc., what should be included
in such as list?
