I. Morang & Co. Frontenac edition of Parkman's classic works, No. 568 of 1000 sets printed, issued in conjunction with Little, Brown & Co. Occasionally the American Little, Brown & Co. edition will include a biography of Parkman issued later in the United States. Parkman (1823-1893) spent years garnering material for his histories of the French & Indian Wars, the expansion of European settlers into the North American continent, and the tragic impact on the American Indians. His historiography was steeped in the innate belief of Anglo-American racial superiority, felt that American Indians were perhaps doomed to extinction, and selectively chose the documents employed in his histories. His works influenced generations of historians, some have gone through considerable reappraisal, and others such as the Oregon Trail continue to be read and studied.
