Where did the American story truly begin? In this sweeping yet exacting Volume I of Narrative and Critical History of America, editor Justin Winsor turns to the deep past - to native American origins, pre-Columbian America, and the complex world of early North America. The sources finally speak clearly. Blending vivid narrative with rigorous evaluation of chronicles, maps, and archaeological research, the volume stands as a landmark critical American history reference on American aboriginal cultures and the indigenous peoples of America, written in a voice that still feels strikingly modern. Conceived as a scholarly American history book for both lay readers and specialists, this first instalment anchors a multi volume history collection that any academic library collection or private shelf of classics can be proud of. Edited at the height of nineteenth-century historical scholarship, it speaks in conversation with Francis Parkman American histories and the grand George Bancroft United States tradition, yet constantly probes, compares, and questions its sources - an enduring resource for history researchers, students, and anyone drawn to the origins of nations. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
