Publisher Notes
Primarily presenting its information in the form of timelines and lists of notable figures, this reference presents facts about U.S. history in a topical format. Although there is no explanation of editorial choices, users will find the text coverage to generally conform to the standard view of American history currently dominant in U.S. academic circles. Fourteen chapters present information on Native American history, exploration and colonization, immigration, military history, government and politics, demographic change, foreign affairs, business and labor, education, science and medicine, transportation and communication, religion, and culture and the arts.
