Abstract
An Illustrated History of the USA explores the development of the United States from its origins as a land inhabited by the scattered Amerindian tribes to the culturally diverse but united country that we see today.
Making extensive use of contemporary quotations, it examines the contribution made by famous figures such as Washington, Lincoln, and Edison, and also the parts played by the less famous - hopeful early settlers from Europe, black slaves on southern cotton plantations, student protesters against the Vietnam War.
