The Men Who United the States: The Amazing Stories of the Explorers, Inventors and Mavericks Who Made America

From bestselling author Simon Winchester, the extraordinary story of how America was united into a single nation. For more than two centuries, E pluribus unum – out of many, one – has been featured on America`s official government seals and stamped on its currency. But how did America become `one nation, indivisible`? In this monumental history, Simon Winchester addresses this question, introducing the fearless trailblazers whose achievements forged and unified America. Winchester follows in the footsteps of America`s most essential explorers, thinkers, and innovators. He treks vast swaths of territory, introducing these fascinating pioneers – some, such as Washington and Jefferson, Lewis and Clark being familiar, some forgotten, some hardly known – who played a pivotal role in creating today`s United States. Throughout, he ponders whether the historic work of uniting the States has succeeded, and to what degree. `The Men Who United the States` is a fresh, lively, and erudite look at the way in which the most powerful nation on earth came together, from one of our most entertaining, probing, and insightful observers.
