American history, from its original prehistoric settlements to present day, is depicted in this important atlas. These maps provide a wealth of historical and statistical information and cover a wide range of subjects. They show changes in the political, social, religious, and economic development of America as well as major wars, battles, explorations, alliances, and the growth and expansion of various aspects of American life, such as transportation, trade, agriculture, and industry.
Each map and the accompanying legend are carefully planned and designed to provide a graphic, visual narrative of the wide sweep of American history, and depict specific events or developments in such a way that all relevant data can be easily understood. The broad span of historical events taken into account is illustrated by the following representative selections of the 112 maps included in the book:
