Historical Atlas of the United States »

With over 300 full-color maps this large-format, richly illustrated atlas presents the vibrant history of conflict and change from the pre-Columbian world to the attack on the World Trade Center. The scope of the atlas is as diverse and wide-ranging as the country it depicts. Whether colonial uprisings, immigration, migration, Indian reservations, the Emancipation Proclamation, or the impact of Hollywood, the atlas charts both dramatic, sweeping events and slow, enduring developments. Two special map sections describe all presidential elections and the territorial growth of the country. Includes index, detailed captions, and twenty-one chapter introductions. Also includes 311 color maps and illustrations.

An indispensable tool for students and educators alike, the Historical Atlas of the United States is destined to become a classic in every library.
