Historical Perspective (essay)

Bibliography of Sources - Option #1: (paper)

I found my sources using the CSU Global Library and Google Scholar. There is a wealth of information available on the Adam’s Family. The thesis of my paper is: How John Adams, a founding father, politician, and statesman cemented not only his own, but also his family's legacy in history. The greatest difficulty I am encountering is distilling the wealth of information on the family into a concise presentation. I have included primary, secondary, and media sources below.
