Early America: Revolution to Republic (Pre-1763 to 1815)

Myriad are the resource materials in print and online which afford one the opportunity to
examine the earliest years of the American Republic.

This website, undertaken as a project by the students of History 425 during the Spring
1999 Semester, is an attempt to present a sample catalogue of the areas of research and
the resources available. We trust that it will provide some very significant information in
itself and, as with all websites, will provide a "launch pad" for further exploration.
