Since 1903, the R. R. Donnelley printing company has given out a Christmas present of a fine book, handsomely printed, and bound in a size that encourages reading (great for travel, too). With a few exceptions of original publications, each is a reprint of a classic in 18th or 19th century American historical literature, with the addition of a new, interpretive introduction.

The early subjects are wide-ranging, encompassing Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography and William Penn's Fruits of Solitude, through presidential inaugural and great American speeches, on into early Illinois and Chicago history. But then the bulk of the titles concern the advancing American frontier and Western history, military life, and experiences with the Indians – including personal memoirs, travels, and first-hand accounts. Most are classics in their fields.

The books are bound in various cloth colors in 25-year increments, green being the earliest and most difficult to find, with red, blue, and brown following. The latest is teal, beginning a new century with Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders. There is a wealth of excellent American historical reading here, and this highly collectable set makes a handsome-looking addition to any library.
