Editorial Reviews

Review

"In touch with the past and in touch with the times, Richard Middleton's third edition of his history of Colonial America expands and improves upon its predecessors, making it easily the best text available for classroom use. In addition to its fluency and clarity – characteristics he brings from earlier editions – this iteration offers new insights based on the most recent scholarship and a coverage expanded to include discussions of the French and Spanish colonies on the continent that later became a part of the United States. A good book that just keeps getting better!" John J. McCusker, Trinity University

From the Back Cover

The thirteen North American colonies established by Great Britain eventually formed the nucleus of the United States. This outstanding book describes the history of these colonies, both individually and collectively. Since its first publication in 1992 it has become the established textbook for students of this period in American history.

The third edition, revised throughout and substantially expanded, now includes a chapter on the Spanish in Florida, New Mexico, and Texas, together with an account of the French settlements in Louisiana.

Important knowledge on the beginnings of America.

Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2017

I've wanted this book forever. It has really been enlightening in helping me understand the precolonial period. It has also allowed me to relate much better to when and where my ancestors migrated to the Americas.

It also provides a great foundation in understanding differences between lifestyles in the colonies and our interaction with native Americans during this time.

A highly useful textbook, indepth yet readable

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2011

I'm no expert on the topic, but this seems like a very good textbook. It provides a macro-view; it addresses change from the tides of history and culture perspective with relatively little focus on 'great men'. Cause and effect is shown as individuals responding to their context, be it legal, economic, or cultural; distinctions are drawn between the responses of different subgroups so you don't get that unrealistic 'we were always American' feeling, but rather a sense of how events ultimately brought them together, i.e., the Dutch, Germans, English, etc.

It's aimed at upper level high school kids or college undergrads. It presents history as a debate with contrasting views (which are usually explored in depth in the footnotes), with a particularly interesting section on marriage and fertility that shows how our understandings have changed as historians began to look at the 'every man' rather than on just the elites.

I particularly like how it shows an evolution of the definition of a "good" father, and how that ties into differing expectations of power in general, and then of the king. Also, the fact that by the time of John Adams it was not uncommon for brides to be pregnant (which included Abigail Adams, not something the book notes but still a useful fact that demonstrates that our founders were a function of their times.)

It offers primary documents to supplement the 2ndary analysis -- including some pretty cool ones, it has a boatload of bibliography sorted by the topic each source specializes in, so a nice starting point for further research. This is also true in the footnotes, and as such from a teacher's perspective it acts as a great resource for setting students off on independent research. There are chapters devoted to every normally undiscussed minority, etc

I didn't realize this was a textbook when I ordered it. So it is full of info, but a very dry read.

Had to read this one for a college history course. Same old same old. Didn't we all get enough of this stuff in high school? And yes, I'm a education and history major.
