By The People: A History Of Americans As Volunteers

Ellis, Susan J.

Energize

Now in its third edition, By The People: A History of Americans as Volunteers remains the only authoritative examination of how volunteers have pioneered community action and social change from colonial days to the present, from the historical mass movement for abolition to current international relief efforts for victims of famine, in every part of the country and in every decade. The authors clearly show that our history has indeed been shaped by citizens who recognize a need and then become involved to take responsibility for meeting that need.
