America, Past and Present, Volume 1America: Past and Present is a hsitory of the United States that tells the unfolding story of national development from the days of the earliest inhabitants to the present. We emphasize 'telling the story' because we strongly believe in the value of historical narrative to provide a vivid sense of the past. Weaving the various strands of the American experience, we have sought in each chapter to blend the excitement and drama of that experience with insights into the underlying social, economic and cultural forces that brought about change. |
