Book excerpt: • A New Republic Best Book of the Year • The Globalist Top Books of the Year • Winner of the Maine Literary Award for Non-fiction Particularly relevant in understanding who voted for who during presidential elections, this is an endlessly fascinating look at American regionalism and the eleven “nations” that continue to shape North America According to award-winning journalist and historian Colin Woodard, North America is made up of eleven distinct nations, each with its own unique historical roots. In American Nations he takes readers on a journey through the history of our fractured continent, offering a revolutionary and revelatory take on American identity, and how the conflicts between them have shaped our past and continue to mold our future. From the Deep South to the Far West, to Yankeedom to El Norte, Woodard (author of American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good) reveals how each region continues to uphold its distinguishing ideals and identities today, with results that can be seen in the composition of the U.S. Congress or on the county-by-county election maps of any hotly contested election in our history.
Download or read book Across Atlantic Ice written by Dennis J. Stanford and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Who were the first humans to inhabit North America? According to the now familiar story, mammal hunters entered the continent some 12,000 years ago via a land bridge that spanned the Bering Sea and introduced the distinctive stone tools of the Clovis culture. Drawing from original archaeological analysis, paleoclimatic research, and genetic studies, noted archaeologists Dennis J. Stanford and Bruce A. Bradley challenge that narrative. Their hypothesis places the technological antecedents of Clovis technology in Europe, with the culture of Solutrean people in France and Spain more than 20,000 years ago, and posits that the first Americans crossed the Atlantic by boat and arrived earlier than previously thought."--Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of North America The history of American colonization is to most persons the record of the activities of the Cavalier and the Puritan. Little thought is given to the story of the Dutchmen who strove to create a New Netherland, or to that of the Swedes who warred with the Dutch and the English in the Delaware country, nor, indeed, is much general interest shown in the accounts of the foundation of New Jersey, Delaware, or Maryland. True, there is existent more or less local interest in sectional history, and certain of the sons and daughters of the Middle States, alive to the importance of their section during the period of colonization, have striven to perfect the historical records of their several States and to place a knowledge of them in the hands of the public. But when we sum up this local interest and its effect we find that even in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland public regard for the history of the Middle colonies does not bulk so large as the general, and we may say popular, interest in the history of the colonies of the East and of the South during the early period of their existence. When, therefore, the general reader considers this period, embracing as it does the initial years of American colonization, his mind fastens more often upon Plymouth Rock and Jamestown than upon Manhattan and St. Mary's; and when he studies the advanced or later stage of the period of colonization, it is not to New Haven, New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore that he turns, but to Boston and Charleston.
