Product Description
A substantial collaborative history of the United States authored by six of the twentieth century's most influential American historians, including Pulitzer Prize winner Bruce Catton, colonial historian Edmund S.
Morgan, and presidential historian Arthur M.
Schlesinger Jr.
The work traces American development from pre-colonial settlement through the Kennedy administration, combining narrative history with extensive maps, documentary illustrations, and photographic material.
Intended for college and advanced secondary instruction, it reflects the mid-century consensus school of American historical interpretation and remains notable for the distinguished roster of contributors.

Kennedy; Bruce Catton (1899-1978) became one of America's most widely read Civil War historians; Edmund S.
Morgan (1916-2013) helped redefine the study of colonial America; and C.
