Description
Adventures of America 1857-1900 A Pictorial Record from Harper's Weekly is an informal history of life in the United States during the latter half of the nineteenth century. The text is designed both to explain and interpret the pictures, as captions would do, and to provide as connected and interesting a survey of social history as possible. The pictures have been chosen from Harper's Weekly, the most representative illustrated journalism of the time. Begun in the panic year of 1857, the Weekly built up an enormous circulation during the Civil War.
