Description - Privateering and Piracy in the Colonial Period: Illustrative Documents (Dodo Press) by John Franklin Jameson
John Franklin Jameson (1859-1937) was an American historian, author, and journal editor who played a major role in the professional activities of American historians in the early 20th century. He was a social historian, an expert in historiography, and above all an intellectual entrepreneur. His base was the American Historical Association, which he helped found in 1884. He chaired its Historical Manuscripts Commission in 1895 and became the first managing editor of the American Historical Review (AHR), 1895-1901, 1905-1928, serving as the gatekeeper and information central for academic historiography. During World War I Jameson edited historical material for soldiers in their training camps, and he published articles in the AHR that supported the Allies. At Carnegie he supervised a series of documentary publications, such as guides to archival resources around the world, documentary editions of the letters of members of the Continental Congress, documents on the slave trade and slave law, and the papers of Andrew Jackson, as well as an atlas of American history.
