Sommario/riassunto

This century-long history of the Organization of American Historians-and its predecessor, the Mississippi Valley Historical Association-explores the thinking and writing by professional historians on the history of the United States. It looks at the organization itself, and pedagogical approaches and critical interpretations as played out in association publications, annual conferences, and advocacy efforts.
