Early American History

selective, annotated bibliography surveys over 1,800 periodical articles published between 1895 and 1970 concerning the historiography of the American Revolution. Organized thematically, it highlights historiographical trends in scholarship across major journals such as American Historical Review and Mississippi Valley Historical Review. Gephart’s annotations focus on changing interpretations of revolutionary causes, leadership, and social consequences. The work is less a general bibliography and more an interpretive guide to the evolution of Revolutionary scholarship prior to the Bicentennial generation, offering insight into both scholarly developments and research methodology.

This bibliography contains over 15,000 annotated entries covering printed and manuscript materials on every aspect of Revolutionary America. Sources include books, pamphlets, serials, maps, atlases, and manuscript collections. The work is organized into twelve major chapters covering topics from research aids and regional histories to diplomacy, the war for independence, and the making of the Constitution. It integrates both primary and secondary sources, providing brief context for each entry and including a prefatory essay, “The Preservation and Publication of Documentary Sources on the Revolution.” This compilation serves as a comprehensive reference tool for scholars, librarians, and researchers of eighteenth‑century America.​
