The Forgotten History of America

Meer over het boek

Americans remember 1776 as the beginning of an era. A new nation was born, commencing a story that continues to grow to this day, but the American Revolution also marked the end of another era -- one in which many nations, both Native American and Europeans, struggled for control of a vast and formidable wilderness. That saga, though separated from us now by a gulf of time that makes it seem strange and even alien, was the history out of which our own emerged. Travelling through land that now forms parts of the United States, The Forgotten History of America elucidates the clash between America's first peoples and the newcomers from Europe. Focusing on events that are all but forgotten today, Cormac O'Brien's masterful storytelling reveals how these dramatic moments helped shape the current American landscape
