About this book

Of the People: A History of the United States Fourth Edition does more than tell the history of America--of its people and places of its dealings and ideals. It also unfolds the story of American democracy carefully marking how this countrys evolution has been anything but certain from its complex beginnings to its modern challenges. This comprehensive survey focuses on the social and political lives of people--some famous some ordinary--revealing the compelling story of Americas democracy from an individual perspective from across the landscapes of diverse communities and ultimately from within the larger context of the world.
