SYNOPSIS: In 1492 Christopher Columbus's discovery of the New World put America firmly on the map of history. The 500 years since have seen the country rise from an uncharted wilderness to become one of the most powerful nations on earth and a bastion of world democracy. The U.S.A. : A Chronicle in Pictures tells the story of those years with 800 engravings, paintings, and photographs, accompanied by an authoritative and illuminating text. A forty-page introductory section describes how the New World was discovered, charts the plight of the native Indians, and recalls the remarkable strength and determination of the early settlers, who battled first the harsh elements and then European colonialism to create an independent nation in 1776. From the momentous Declaration of Independence to the present day, The U.S.A. : A Chronicle in Pictures looks at the landmarks in the nation's history decade by decade, covering all the most important personalities and historical and cultural events-George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, FDR; the Civil War; the Depression years; America's involvement in two world wars, Korea, and Vietnam; the Jazz Age; Hollywood; rock music; and baseball. Each decade begins with a short introduction to its major political and social developments and goes on to illustrate in pictures and captions the main events of those ten years. Special features highlight significant events and important aspects of American life. Detailed chronologies run throughout each decade providing comprehensive information not only on political events, but also on achievements in the arts, sciences, sports, and daily life. Information is simple to find using an easy-reference index which enables the reader to find out about individual events without needing to know the year in which they took place. Whether read through from cover to cover, or dipped into for facts on specific events, The U.S.A. : A Chronicle in Pictures paints a fascinating and informative picture of the growth of the world's greatest nation.
