American Colonies

Alan Taylor's 2001 comprehensive history of colonial North America — covering the Spanish, French, Dutch, and British colonies as well as Native American societies — the most geographically complete account of pre-Revolutionary American history.

Provides the full multicultural account of colonial America — Spanish missions, French fur trade empires, Dutch commercial colonies, British settlements, and Native American responses together constitute American colonial history — demonstrating that the thirteen colonies are a fraction of the story.
