The thirteen North American colonies established by Great Britain eventually formed the nucleus of the United States. This outstanding book describes the history of these colonies, both individually and collectively.

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.
