The Lakeside Classics series was started in 1903 by Thomas E. Donnelley, then president of R. R. Donnelley & Sons Company and son of the founder. The basic format of the Lakeside Classics has remained the same for more than 100 years, testifying to the sound design of the first volume. Each 25 years the cover material is changed and type style adjusted to keep pace with current developments in fine book making. Many of the early volumes consisted of the speeches and writings of noted Americans. In 1911 the series took its present character: first-person narratives of American history, usually taken from books long out of print and not easily obtainable..
