Overview

The First Great Chapter in the American Story. America 250: Volume 1 brings vividly to life the formative years of the United States – from the break with Britain in 1776 to the dawn of the 20th century. It charts the epic story of a young nation finding its identity: revolution and independence, exploration to the Pacific with Lewis & Clark, the pioneering wagon trains carving paths west, and the rise of cowboys, railroads and industrial might. Alongside these triumphs came deep tensions – slavery, secession, and the brutal Civil War – that threatened to tear the Union apart. Yet out of conflict emerged a stronger, more confident America, poised to take its place on the world stage. Richly illustrated and accessible, this is history told through people and places, struggle and opportunity, giving readers a front-row view of the drama, hardship and ambition that forged the modern United States.
