Description

This panoramic account of 1776 chronicles the opposite revolutions unfolding that year across North The united states, a long way beyond the British colonies.

On this distinctive history of 1776, Claudio Saunt looks beyond the familiar story of the 13 colonies to explore the various other revolutions roiling the turbulent American continent. In that fateful year, the Spanish landed in San Francisco, the Russians pushed into Alaska to seek valuable sea otters, and the Sioux came upon the Black Hills. Hailed by critics for challenging our conventional view of the birth of The united states, West of the Revolution “[coaxes] our vision away from the Atlantic seaboard” and “exposes a continent seething with peoples and functions beyond Minutemen and Redcoats” (Wall Street Journal). 22 illustrations; 15 maps
