Summary "A Source Book in American History to 1787" by Willis M. West is a historical compilation prepared for educational purposes, likely written in the early 20th century. This work serves as a resource for students and educators, showcasing a curated selection of primary documents that highlight key events, figures, and themes in early American history leading up to 1787. The focus is on making this historical material accessible and engaging for those studying American history. The opening of this sourcebook outlines the rationale behind its compilation, emphasizing the value of primary sources in understanding the continuity and development of American history prior to the 19th century. West discusses the necessity of bringing together various types of documents—from charters and letters to essays and reports—in order to create a comprehensive view of early American colonization and governance. He argues that this combination not only aids in academic study but also keeps readers engaged through a diverse array of materials, resulting in a robust introduction to critical historical narratives and concepts.
