Alan Taylor

American historian at UC Davis who has won two Pulitzer Prizes — William Cooper's Town and The Internal Enemy — and whose American Colonies provides the most comprehensive single-volume history of colonial American history, including the Spanish, French, and British colonies.

Provides the most geographically and culturally comprehensive account of early American history — American Colonies' inclusion of French, Spanish, and Native American perspectives alongside the British colonial story demonstrates that 'American history' cannot be reduced to the thirteen colonies.
