Summary:
A handsome, beautifully illustrated survey of the first two hundred years of post-Revolutionary American history, breaking down events by year and date and with much explanatory commentary on the salient happenings and personalities. Includes full copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

This book is going into the Biographies of Things Book Box (https://www.bookcrossing.com/forum/20/577192) and heading back to the sponsor to start off on another round.

Finally ready to start another round of the Biographies of Things book box, which means I have to realize that I never catalogued the ones that were in the box when it returned to me. This one is good for another round.

This book is now part of the Biographies of Things book box and is off to tour the country. Hopefully along the way it finds an interested reader and a new home.

I'm claiming this hefty softcover from the latest round of the Biographies of Things bookbox.

The historical events run from 1776 through 1975, with illustrations scattered throughout - and full-page portraits of each of the US presidents, from Washington to Ford. For each year there's a summary of events, followed by shorter items of significance presented by date.

I left this book, bagged against the elements, on a bench in the little memorial park on Rt. 121 on the coast of Lake Massabesic. Hope someone enjoys it!
