Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Viewpoints in American History Unfortunately, the product Of the new school Of American historians has, in very large part, been buried in the files of historical society journals, in the learned publications Of the universities and in monographs privately printed at the ex pense of the authors. The new history was being written by historians for historians rather than for laymen; and the public generally has remained oblivious Of the great revolu tion in our knowledge Of American history wrought by the research specialists. Even the school textbooks have not until a comparatively recent time been affected by the dis coveries Of the specialists; and too Often the newer type of textbook has suffered at the hands Of teachers who, though familiar with the new facts and emphases as set forth in the textbook, have no acquaintance with the general point Of view which gives to these new facts their tremendous significance.
