This work serves as a resource for students and educators, showcasing a curated selection of primary documents that highlight key events, figures, and themes in early American history leading up to 1787.

The opening of this sourcebook outlines the rationale behind its compilation, emphasizing the value of primary sources in understanding the continuity and development of American history prior to the 19th century.
