Based on Joseph Sabin's famed bibliography, Bibliotheca Americana, Sabin Americana, 1500--1926 contains a collection of books, pamphlets, serials and other works about the Americas, from the time of their discovery to the early 1900s. Sabin Americana is rich in original accounts of discovery and exploration, pioneering and westward expansion, the U.S. Civil War and other military actions, Native Americans, slavery and abolition, religious history and more.

Sabin Americana offers an up-close perspective on life in the western hemisphere, encompassing the arrival of the Europeans on the shores of North America in the late 15th century to the first decades of the 20th century. Covering a span of over 400 years in North, Central and South America as well as the Caribbean, this collection highlights the society, politics, religious beliefs, culture, contemporary opinions and momentous events of the time. It provides access to documents from an assortment of genres, sermons, political tracts, newspapers, books, pamphlets, maps, legislation, literature and more.

Notes: Privately printed and circulated in only 50 copies. The notice of its appearance prompted this reply from Catlin: "The pamphlet you speak of as 'printed privately for a very select circle, ' is a gross and mangled extract from my account of the Mandan Religious Ceremony, printed and circulated without my permission or knowledge; of which I have demanded the surrender of every copy printed; and for every reprint or circulation of the same I will prosecute."
