Memory and American History

by David Thelan

"Memory and American History contains some of the most interesting explorations and significant recent results of work by scholars using traditional primary and secondary sources as well as oral history interviews." -- Library Quarterly

From true memory comes true history. Or does it? As this book demonstrates, the study of memory opens exciting opportunities for historians to ask fresh questions of conventional sources and to make new connections among subjects that have come to be regarded as specialized and distinct.
