This set originally belonged to the library of the University of California, Santa Cruz, and aside from the checkout slips in the rear of each volume and a label ghost on each spine, one would not know that these are ex-library books. The set was then owned by the historian Page Smith, who was the author of the Bancroft Prize winning two-volume biography of John Adams and the eight-volume 'A People's History of the United States'. Each volume of this set bears his name written in his own hand.
