We Americans: Who We Are, Where We've Been

The fight for independence and the devastating Civil War. The Baby Boom and the birth of the computer age. Gold rushes and oil gushes. Through engaging text and lavish images, We Americans follows the day-to-day lives of the people and events that shaped our nation, with a focus on the country's unprecedented mix of immigrants and how they transformed this nation. We Americans features 14 essays by best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning writers and 300 illustrations and rarely published archival photographs, artwork, and maps, plus a 200-year timeline and an index.
