A Republic in the Wilderness:
Treasures of American History from Jamestown to Appomattox
Celebrates the people and events that created an enduring political union and shaped the American experience, beginning with early English settlement and contact with the native peoples, and then tracing the growth of the American nation to the end of the Civil War, against the background of evolving natural and built environments.
