Project to prepare a manuscript listing an annotated basic reading list of about ten books on the American Revolution, intended not for scholars or advanced students, but for an intelligent public audience a the educational level of high school senior or first year undergraduate. ABSTRACT: Four distinguished American historians who are members of the staff of the Institute of Early American History and Culture to complete a manuscript listing an annotated basic reading list of about ten books on the American Revolution, intended not for scholars or advanced students, but for an intelligent public audience at the educational level of high school senior or first year undergraduate. This manuscript is to be printed and distributed by the National Endowment for the Humanities as the first in a projected Humanities Reading Lists series. Such a reading list, distributed by the NEH, is expected to have considerable prestige and wide distribution and therefore a greater impact on the publich than others which might be compiled on similar subjects by others.
