Maier, Pauline, 1938-2013. American scripture: making the Declaration of Independence. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1997, 5th printing September 1997, xxi, 304pp., very good price-clipped dust-jacket, very good blue and white hardcover. Dust-jacket design by Chip Kidd. Historian Maier shows us the Declaration as both the defining statement of our national identity and the moral standard by which we live as a nation. It is truly "American Scripture," and Maier tells us how it came to be. She describes the transformation of the Second Continental Congress into a national government, unlike anything that preceded or followed it. She lets us hear the voice of the people as revealed in other "declarations" of 1776. Detective-like, she discloses the origins of key ideas and phrases in the Declaration and unravels the complex story of its drafting and of the group-editing job which angered Thomas Jefferson. She also reveals what happened after the signing and celebration: how it was largely forgotten and then revived to buttress political arguments of the nineteenth century; and how Abraham Lincoln ensured its persistence as a living force in American society. - CONTENTS: Introduction: Gathering at the Shrine -- Ch.
