This entirely fresh interpretation of American history by a renowned historical geographer is the first in a projected three-volume series. Meinig here focuses on colonial America, examining how an immense diversity of ethnic and religious groups-Europeans, Africans, American Indians-ultimately created a set of distinct regional societies.

Rohrbough, Georgia Historical Quarterly "This book is a masterpiece in the best and old sense of the word."-Alfred W. Crosby, Southwestern Historical Quarterly
