"The Americans: The Colonial Experience" Overview

A groundbreaking work of cultural history, Daniel Boorstin’s The Americans: The Colonial Experience is the first in an award-winning trilogy of works. that focus on the foundations of the American character. In this volume, Boorstin traces the unique qualities of that character back to the foundational experiences of the Puritans, Quakers and the settlers of Virginia and Georgia in the New World.

"The Americans: The Colonial Experience" Specifications

The first book in a trilogy--and in many respects the best of the bunch--The Colonial Experience is an essential interpretation of how the habits of people who lived more than two centuries ago shaped the lives of modern Americans. Boorstin shows how an undiscovered continent shattered long-standing traditions and utopian fantasies with the hard demands of everyday life far from the sophisticated centers of European civilization: "Old categories were shaken up, and new situations revealed unsuspected uses for old knowledge," writes Boorstin. He starts with a series of penetrating essays on the Puritans of Massachusetts, the Quakers of Pennsylvania, the philanthropists of Georgia, and the planters of Virginia, then tackles a set of diffuse topics that range from astronomy to language to medicine in fascinating vignettes.

The Colonial Experience is must reading for anybody interested in the development of the American character. --John J. Miller
