description: Brilliantly conceived and beautifically packaged, this unique narrative spans the French-Indian Wars of the 1760s and the Jacksonian era--a period in which the fires of rebellion were stoked, and a fledging nation took her place among the world's powers. Through text and photographs, we are immersed in the civil, military, and political events of a momentous age. Readers relive the period by holding and examining faithful reproductions of more than thirty pieces of memorabilia--much of it unpublished--from America's finest private collections and public archives. Among the documents and effects included are hand-drawn maps, diary excerpts, letters, newspapers, handbills, and other effects from the late-Colonial era and early Republic.
