Published by Oxford University Press

The Landmarks of American History Series emerged from the belief in the power of place to move us and to teach us. Because these enduring symbols of the American experience define us as a nation, they are some of history's best teachers.

The historic sites presented in this series are selected from the National Register of Historic Places. Nationally recognized historians write the books on various representative themes in U.S. History. For them, historic sites are not just places to visit on a field trip, but places that bring the reality of the past to life, making history meaningful to our present and useful for our future.

Lively narrative essays on the main historical sites featured explore a broad range of themes. Fact boxes list key details such as dates and a summary of the site's significance. Sidebars contain primary sources, issues associated with the site, maps, and much more.
