Quest of a
Hemisphere is a factual American
history written from documents, manuscripts, journals, diaries, letters, newspapers, and rare books in the
Library of Congress, National Archives, Henry E. Huntington Library and Art Gallery, Pan American Union, and
private collections of Americana.
Although Quest of a
Hemisphere is basically a history of the United States, the title indicates that events in neighboring
countries, vitally affecting the way of life in this nation, are interwoven chronologically into the text. By
recording the varied political, social, and economic history of both Americas , the point of view becomes hemispherical.
Illustrations feature the art
of historical periods - reproductions of sketches and paintings, portraits of famous men by artists of their
time, and copies of documents in the original style of printing. Legends are vital history, serving to
supplement the text.
In narrative style, each
chapter renders a factual account of the struggle, achievement, and vision of the peoples who forged new nations
in the Western
Hemisphere. Who were they? Why did they
come? Where did they go? What did they do? What destiny were they seeking? That is the story in this
book.
