The narrative comes out to be more than the sum of its parts.” —Emily Maxwell, The New Yorker   “The struggle for independence, the creation of a new government, westward expansion, regional differences, Civil War, social and economic change, Depression and world wars—all described and related the one to another in a smooth and knowledgeable narrative.” —Nash K. Burger, The New York Times   “The best short history that I have ever read.” —Thurman Arnold   “A model volume of its kind . . . Deserves wide acceptance.” —Allan Nevins
