Summary | "History of the United States, Volume 1" by Elisha Benjamin Andrews is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The volume delves into the rich and complex history of the United States, starting from the earliest discoveries of America and continuing through significant periods of exploration and colonization. It aims to provide a comprehensive narrative that intertwines the political evolution of the nation with the social culture and life of its people. At the start of the book, Andrews introduces the concept of American history prior to the arrival of Columbus, highlighting the existence of ancient civilizations and indigenous peoples in North America. The narrative covers the early theories and evidence of human arrival on the continent, including the Mound-builders and various Native American tribes, their cultures, languages, and lifestyles. Additionally, it presents Columbus's voyages, revealing his motivations and the consequential impact of his discoveries on the indigenous populations. The opening sets the stage for exploring a vast historical timeline, laying a foundation for understanding the sociopolitical dynamics leading up to the formation of the United States.
