Title: Interesting Historiography
Review: This edition (1776: The Illustrated Edition) of the history includes facsimiles of the documents used to write the history. With the standard edition you simply have McCullough's word that the British had a better map of Boston than the Americans had. In this edition you can see the map for yourself. The same experience is repeated throughout the book, giving the reader a chance to experience the process of creating an historical narrative. I would have given this book 5 stars except that it is an abridgment and I don't like having books abridged.
