    Review


    "A monument of historical scholarship. These biographical narratives, well-written and riveting, often read more like character sketches than dry, dusty history."--Henry Louis Gates, Jr., Harvard University


    "The time has come for a fresh look at event-making men and women of the American past. The American National Biography...will be a work that every library must have and every scholar will yearn to own."--Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., City University of New York
    "A once-in-a-lifetime publishing project. How lucky we are that it has reached such high standards in excellent scholarship, imaginative coverage, and intelligent commentary."--Joyce Appleby, President of the American Historical Association
    "A significant event in American cultural history....It is the collective biography of the American people...and as such should be available in every school, university, and public library in the country."--Bernard Bail
