The Story of the Declaration of Independence

Dumas Malone

A pictorial history of the Declaration of Independence traces the events that built up to its writing, the lives of the signers and the documents' subsequent ""journeys"" before it came to its final resting place in the Capital. Many reproductions and photographs by Hirst Milhollen and Milton Kaplan have been correlated with the text. Despite a price that may limit purchase by small libraries we'd recommend its availability in young peoples' rooms where possible.
