The Colonization of North America, 1492-1783
The Colonization of North America, 1492-1783, by Herbert Eugene Bolton and Thomas Maitland Marshall, was written as a college textbook that would treat the continent as a whole rather than only the thirteen English colonies. Beginning with the growth of geographical knowledge, the Portuguese discoveries and Columbus, it follows the Spanish conquest and settlement of the West Indies, Mexico and the borderlands, French expansion in Canada and the Mississippi valley, the Dutch and Swedes on the Hudson and Delaware, and the founding and government of the English colonies, through the wars for empire and the American Revolution. Bolton, the historian of the Spanish borderlands, helped reshape how American colonial history was taught. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
