The Establishment of the Thirteen Colonies

By Don Nardo

Setting the scene by describing life before their arrival, this volume chronicles the coming of Europeans to the New World, the establishment of colonies, and the emergence of British colonial America. From the seekers of religious freedom, adventure, or fortune, to the servants, convicts, and slaves who had no choice, we learn who settled America and why, as well as their changing relationship with the native peoples they encountered.
