The thirteen North American colonies established by Great Britain eventually formed the nucleus of the United States.

The third edition, revised throughout and substantially expanded, now includes a chapter on the Spanish in Florida, New Mexico, and Texas, together with an account of the French settlements in Louisiana. Accompanied by maps, contemporary illustrations, chronologies, documents, and a fully updated and expanded bibliography, this comprehensive and readable history of the colonial period offers a fascinating analysis of the evolution of a new and distinctive society.

In touch with the past and in touch with the times, Richard Middleton's third edition of his history of Colonial America expands and improves upon its predecessors, making it easily the best text available for classroom useIn addition to its fluency and clarity - characteristics he brings from earlier editions - this iteration offers new insights based on the most recent scholarship and a coverage expanded to include discussions of the French and Spanish colonies on the continent that later became a part of the United States.
