Summary
"A classic book that helped create the modern field, this was the first casebook devoted exclusively to American legal and constitutional history, giving students not only an understanding of the development of American jurisprudence, but also a broader and better understanding of American history generally. Over the years new editions have included more materials on the legal history of race, criminal law, and the family, as well as up-to-date bibliographical information on the newly burgeoning field of American legal history. This edition features new materials on Abraham Lincoln, on the Civil War, and on Reconstruction."--Publisher's website.
