What does the man on the moon and high school teachers having to take loyalty oaths have in common? Listen to today's podcast and find out... Today's podcast includes a conversation with David Krugler, Professor of History at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville about his work as volume editor for our newest Core American Documents volume, the Cold War. In it, David talks about the Cold War, the documents he selected and how, and some interesting experiences he had in the creation of the volume. As in the other volumes, each Core Documents volume will contain the following: Key documents on the period, theme, or institution, selected by an expert and reviewed by an editorial board An introduction highlighting key documents and themes A thematic table of contents, showing the connections between various documents Study questions for each document, as well as questions that refer to other documents in the collection Notes on each document to identify people, events, movements, or ideas to improve understanding of the document’s historical context. When complete, the series will be comprehensive and authoritative, and will present America’s story in the words of those who wrote it – all united in their commitment to equality and liberty, yet so often divided by their different understandings of these most fundamental American ideas. In sum, our intent is that the documents and their supporting material provide unique access to the richness of the American story. We hope that you will find this resource to be intriguing and helpful for your classroom. Please contact Daniel Mitchell if you have any questions or would like more information about using the Core Documents Curriculum in your classroom. Thank you for all that you do!
