The Brave New World covers the span of early American history, from
30,000 years before Europeans ever landed on North American shores
to creation of the new nation. With its exploration of the places
and peoples of early America, this comprehensive, lively narrative
brings together the most recent scholarship on the colonial and
revolutionary eras, Native Americans, slavery, politics, war, and
the daily lives of ordinary people. The revised, enlarged edition
includes a new chapter carrying the story through the American
Revolution, the War for Independence, and the creation of the
Confederation. Additional material on the frontier, the Southwest
and the Caribbean, the slave trade, religion, science and
technology, and ecology broadens the text, and maps drawn
especially for this edition will enable readers to follow the story
more closely. The bibliographical essay, one of the most admired
features of the first edition, has been expanded and brought up to
date.
Peter Charles Hoffer combines the Atlantic Rim scholarship with
a Continental perspective, illuminating early America from all
angles -- from its first settlers to the Spanish Century, from
African slavery to the Salem witchcraft cases, from prayer and
drinking practices to the development of complex economies, from
the colonies' fight for freedom to an infant nation's struggle for
political and economic legitimacy. Wide-ranging in scope, inclusive
in content, the revised edition of The Brave New World continues to
provide professors, students, and historians with an engaging and
accessible history of early North America.
