Comments/Reviews
Description: This wide-ranging, multidisciplinary, illustrated encyclopedia covers in depth one of the most colorful and eventful periods in U.S. history--the eight decades from the end of the American Revolution to the eve of the Civil War. The set supports many themes and topics within U.S. history standards for Era 3 and Era 4.
Hundreds of authoritative, signed articles provide accessible coverage of the ongoing struggles of the fledgling nation, including the creation and ratification of the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights; the War of 1812 and the burning of Washington; the Indian Wars and the Trail of Tears; the California Gold Rush; the rise of abolitionists and the Underground Railroad; and much more.
The Early Republic and Antebellum America enables students to consider multiple historical perspectives, compare and contrast differing sets of ideas, and explain historical continuity and change. A topic finder, photos, chronologies, primary documents, as well as a glossary, bibliography, and index add to the set's usefulness.

Review(s): "This encyclopedia's scope is distinctive. Its accessible language and writing style make it appropriate for high school, academic, and larger public libraries. Recommended." -- Library Journal
"Utilizing a multidisciplinary approach, the hundreds of signed articles in these volumes examine American history and culture during the years 1781-1861. All entries are cross-referenced and include suggestions for further research. Throughout the volumes, sidebars, charts, and black-and-white maps and reproductions of photos, advertisements, paintings, and broadsides add useful information. An extensive glossary and bibliography complete the set. Excellent organization, a detailed table of contents and index, a list of sidebars, and a topic finder make this set particularly user friendly. This solid resource supports U.S. history standards for high school students, making it a particularly valuable addition." -- School Library Journal
"With over 400 entries on topics with titles such as 'Furniture and Furnishings,' 'William Walker,' 'Agriculture,' and 'Marriage and Divorce,' Bates and contributors provide a broad scope of entries. ...The last volume features both an extensive index and 100-plus primary sources. All of these components make this encyclopedia a useful resource for undergraduates. Recommended. Lower- and upper-level undergraduates." -- Choice
"Extent and depth of coverage on subject matter provides an insight into life at that time and includes topics rarely addressed in general encyclopedias and specialized biographical dictionaries. The Early Republic and Antebellum America is reasonably priced and would be a valuable addition to a secondary school library with general and specialized reference sources. Recommended." -- Library Media Connection
"Appropriate for high school and junior college students, and general readers." -- Reference Research Book News
"An era of such change and turmoil certainly deserves attention, and Bate's addition to the bibliography is welcome. The volumes are sufficiently if not lavishly furnished with contemporary illustrations. Libraries of most types and levels, including high school, college, and public, will want to consider this source." -- American Reference Books Annual
