Included are such documents as Richard Hakluyt's \"Discourse of Western Planting\" (1584), \"Letter from Christopher Columbus to the King and Queen of Spain\" (undated, probably 1694), \"The Third Virginia Charter\" (1612), Thomas Paine's \"Common Sense\" (1776) and \"The Declaration of independence\" (July 4, 1776). Each has an explanatory headnote, and there are brief general introductions that set the selections in their historical context. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn order to fit both Colonial and Early National courses, documents covering 1765-1776 appear at the end of this volume and again at the beginning of Volume II. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVolume II From the Revolution to the Civil War, 1765-1865 Edited by Richard Hofstadter \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVolume III From Reconstruction to the Present Day, 1864-1981 \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEdited by Richard Hofstadter and Beatrice K.
