Book Review: The Documentary History of the Supreme Court of the United States

Professor William Casto reviews The Documentary History of the Supreme Court of the United States, 1789-1800, vol. 5, Suits Against States, which he finds to be a great resource for historians. Professor Casto provides an outline of the book’s sections and a brief discussion of some of the more important cases discussed in the book. Professor Casto finds the other reviewed book, A Guide to the Early Reporters of the Supreme Court of the United States, to be a better resource for librarians as it was written by two law librarians. This book provides significant bibliographical information for U.S. Reports.
