    <![CDATA[<p><em>Portrait of America</em> is an anthology of essays written by some of America's most eminent historians. Suitable for U.S. history survey courses, the collection maintains a loose biographical focus. The essays in this secondary-source reader humanize American history by portraying it as a story of real people with whom students can easily identify.</p><p>More than 20 percent of the essays in the Ninth Edition are new. Each selection is preceded by an introduction for context, and a helpful glossary identifies important individuals, events, and concepts. Study questions follow each selection, prompting students to make comparisons between the readings.</p>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;<em>New!</em> Important new works in the Ninth Edition include &quot;John Adams and the Coming of the Revolution,&quot; David McCullough; &quot;Runaways from a Hellish System,&quot; John Hope Franklin and Loren Schweninger; and &quot;Reagan: His Place in History,&quot; Richard Brookhiser.&lt;li&gt;Historians whose works are featured in the reader include Ira Berlin, Dee Brown, Eric Foner, Doris Kearns Goodwin, Gary B. Nash, Page Smith, and Gordon S. Wood.&lt;li&gt;Many selections are taken from books that have received the Pulitzer Prize, Bancroft Prize, and National Book Award.&lt;/ul&gt;]]>
