In 1957, the University of Chicago Press asked acclaimed
best-selling historian Daniel J. Boorstin to oversee a series of
accessible yet authoritative books that, together, would tell the
whole history of the American people. The result, published over
the course of nearly half a century, is the "Chicago History of
American Civilization" series, which provides a nuanced and vibrant
portrait of the United States from its inception through the
twentieth century. Scholars across many disciplines contributed,
and the series covers a broad range of topics, as disparate as the
War of 1812, immigration, and American folklore. While the series
is certainly eclectic, the books share both ambition and authority
- they have been staples for teachers and general readers alike.
The authors included in this series represent some of the greatest
academic talents ever to turn their mind to the American past. Thus
the University of Chicago Press is excited to offer new editions of
three of the series' best-known books. William T. Hagan's classic
"American Indians" has become standard reading in the field of
Native American history. Daniel M. Cobb, who studied with Hagan,
has taken over the task of updating and revising the material,
enabling the book to respond to the times. Spanning the arrival of
white settlers in the Americas through the twentieth century, this
concise account includes more than twenty new maps and
illustrations, as well as a bibliographic essay that surveys the
most recent research in Indian-white relations. With an
introduction by Cobb, and a foreword by eminent historian Patricia
Nelson Limerick, this fourth edition marks the fiftieth anniversary
of the original publication of "American Indians".
