Mays (political science, The Citadel, South Carolina) covers not
just the war of independence, but the political and social changes
that led to it beginning in 1763, and the period between the end of
hostilities and the implementation of the Constitution in 1789. In
entries ranging from a sentence or two to the rare two pages, he
identifies people, events, places, laws, institutions, and
movements. His emphasis is on political, economic, and social
issues; though some military matters are mentioned, he refers
readers to more detailed military coverage in his Historical
Dictionary of the American Revolution (1999). He includes extensive
cross-referencing, but no index.
