From School Library Journal:

YA-- The works in Soul of America represent important documents in U. S. history from 1492 to Nixon's resignation speech in 1974. There are speeches by Sojourner Truth and the Cherokee tribal leaders, as well as documents that forged our nation, such as the Monroe Doctrine and Penn's Plan of Union. Also included are landmark decisions such as the Sherman Anti-Trust Act and the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Even ``The Star-Spangled Banner'' and ``America the Beautiful'' are put in historical perspective. Generous sources and bibliographic sections lead readers to the full text of the documents included in the book. A thorough coverage of America's great papers that will be useful for research, all in one book. --Anne Paget, Episcopal High School, Bellaire,
