About this product

Product Information

Twenty distinguished American historians vividly reimagine twenty events of great drama and significance in our country's past. "What is the scene or incident in American history that you would like to have witnessed--and why?" This is the thought-provoking question that editor Byron Hollinshead posed to twenty of our finest interpreters of American history with the invitation to write a personal essay answering it. The result is "I Wish I'd Been There", a book that trains a lens on crucial moments of our past and brings them to vivid life. With these peerless scholars as their guides, readers will be transported to the Salem witch trials, the Lewis and Clark expedition, the raid on Harpers Ferry, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, the Scopes "monkey trial, " the beginnings of the Vietnam War, the voting rights march to Selma, and other turning points of our national drama. Contributors include Mary Beth Norton, Joseph Ellis, Jay Winik, Carol Berkin, Kevin Baker, Robert Cowley, Carolyn Gilman, Geoffrey Ward, Robert Dallek, and William Leuchtenburg, among other luminaries of the historical profession. "I Wish I'd Been There" is a marvelous concept, wonderfully and imaginatively executed. The result is an American pageant of character and event that will attract and delight readers of history.

A Real Book Review
I wish I hadn't read this..This book is nothing more then brief history mixed in with conjectur and a dabble of fantasy thrown in for good measure..A group of historians take pages out of history and add their two cents worth in, and if doing so they make this book a boring read..no new facts are uncovered and alot of the details are purely speculation on the parts of the writers..I give this book 1 out of 5 bars..only coz you can't go any lower!! BTW ebayers you review the book, movie, cd or whatever it is you have purchased NOT the seller or the auction!
