A recent book order contained the four-volume Milestone Documents in American History. The first document is the Proclamation of 1763, a decree which closed the Ohio Valley to colonial settlers by declaring that the land west of the Appalachian Mountains belonged to the Indians who were under the protection of the king. Our school started in March of 1763. We enjoyed the moment of putting our history into the greater American historical perspective!

My company is the publisher of the Milestone Documents series, including Milestone Documents in American History. I'm thrilled to see your comment and so glad that the set has come in handy. I wasn't very familiar with the Proclamation of 1763 before we produced the volume and really enjoyed learning about it. Thanks again.
