Traveller's History of the USA

Traveller's History of the USA

by Daniel McInerney (Author)

Synopsis

This title is aimed at travellers, or those interested in history, who wish to enjoy the USA. It outlines the history of the country from 25,000 years ago to the present, showing the continuous passage of travellers who have come to the American strand, crossing first by land bridge, later ocean vessel, and then by aircraft. For some, it was a place of new beginnings and fresh starts, for others, a land of bondage and subjugation; for all, a region of stark contrasts between what may have been and what could be.

Book Overview: 'In the beginning,' John Locke wrote, 'all the world was America.' The land was vast, verdant and bountiful but devoid of one element, humanity. That gap has been filled for some twenty-five thousand years, by the continuous passage of travellers who have come to the American strand, crossing first by land bridge, later ocean vessel, and then aircraft, to see what the new world presented. For some, it was a place of new beginnings and fresh starts; for others, a land of bondage and subjugation; for all, a region of stark contrasts between what the world may have been and what it could be.
