Growth In America: 1865-1914

North American Historical Atlases

by Rebecca Stefoff

Innovative and beautifully produced, this series traces the history of the New World from the arrival of Asian hunters in Alaska more than 15,000 years ago to the late 19th century. The books use authentic full-color reproductions of period maps to illustrate the fascinating story of North America. In addition to the stunning maps, each title benefits from incisive text and numerous striking color pictures that bring each period to vivid life. Each title contains a glossary, map list, chronology of landmark events, guide to further reading and index.

A nice overview of American history from 1865-1914. It actually started 20-30 years prior as introduction and then seemed to focus more on the 1900's aspect, covering gold mining, railroads, immigration, inventions, a hint of exploration, and the Panama Canal. I liked all of the old photographs and a good many maps. If you want to dip into the era, this is a good book for it.
