H. E. Marshall's lively and spectacular history of the United States from its tumultuous inception through to World War I is available anew in this comprehensive edition. Using her wealth of experience as a historian of nations, H. E. Marshall set out in 1917 to chronicle North America's history from the colonial era onward. Rather than opt for a straightforward chronological exploration of the USA's evolution and growth as a nation, Marshall instead opted to tell stories peculiar to each of the regions, as well as events with important ramifications for the entire country. The book is therefore divided into seven principal parts, each of which contains numerous chapters that relate a particular episode of American history. Marshall begins with the colonial period and the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus, and thereafter details the arrival of the British, then the French and Spanish, to North American shores.

This book presents a vivid account of the building of the British Empire. The colonies are described from when they are first discovered through their exploration, settlement and government. This book includes the five large areas of the Empire - India, South Africa, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. This book is suitable for children aged 10 and above.
