Richard Hildreth was een Amerikaanse journalist, auteur en historicus.

Dit uitgebreide werk wordt door historici erkend vanwege de politieke nauwkeurigheid ervan met betrekking tot de vroege Republiek. Het wordt echter ook opgemerkt vanwege een merkbare vooringenomenheid ten gunste van de Federalist Party en de afschaffing van de slavernij.
