Throughout its history, America has been defined through maps. Whether made for military strategy or urban reform, to encourage settlement or to investigate disease, maps invest information with meaning by translating it into visual form. They capture what people knew, what they thought they knew, what they hoped for, and what they feared. As such they offer unrivaled windows onto the past. In this book Susan Schulten uses maps to explore five centuries of American history, from the voyages of European discovery to the digital age. With stunning visual clarity, A History of America in 100 Maps showcases the power of cartography to illuminate and complicate our understanding of the past. Gathered primarily from the British Library’s incomparable archives and compiled into nine chronological chapters, these one hundred full-color maps range from the iconic to the unfamiliar. Each is discussed in terms of its specific features as well as its larger historical significance in a way that conveys a fresh perspective on the past. Some of these maps were made by established cartographers, while others were made by unknown individuals such as Cherokee tribal leaders, soldiers on the front, and the first generation of girls to be formally educated. Some were tools of statecraft and diplomacy, and others were instruments of social reform or even advertising and entertainment. But when considered together, they demonstrate the many ways that maps both reflect and influence historical change. Audacious in scope and charming in execution, this collection of one hundred full-color maps offers an imaginative and visually engaging tour of American history that will show readers a new way of navigating their own worlds.

MAKING AMERICA: A HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, VOLUME 1: TO 1877, BRIEF 6E, International Edition presents history as a dynamic process shaped by human expectations, difficult choices, and often the surprising consequences. With this focus on history as a process, MAKING AMERICA encourages students to think historically and to develop into citizens who value the past. The clear chronology, straightforward narrative, and strong thematic structure emphasize communication over intimidation and appeal to students of varied learning levels. The Brief 6th edition retains a hallmark feature of the MAKING AMERICA program: pedagogical tools that allow students to master complex material and enable them to develop analytical skills. Every chapter has chapter outlines, chronologies, focus questions, and on-page glossaries (defining both key terms and general vocabulary) to provide guidance throughout the text; the open, inviting design allows students to access and use pedagogy to improve learning. A wealth of images throughout provides a visual connection to the past, with captions that help students analyze the subject of the painting, photograph, or artifact from a historical point of view. “Investigating America” gets to the heart of learning history: reading and analyzing primary sources. A new feature, “In The Wider World,” introduces a global perspective for each chapter. In addition, a new map program provides clear, visually engaging maps with globe insets to put the map in a global context for the student. Available in the following split options: MAKING AMERICA: A HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, BRIEF 6E, International Edition Complete, MAKING AMERICA: A HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, VOLUME 1: TO 1877, BRIEF 6E, International Edition, and MAKING AMERICA: A HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES, Volume 2: Since 1865, BRIEF 6E, International Edition.
