"American Colonies" reveals a pivotal period in the global interaction of peoples, cultures, plants, animals, and microbes. In a vivid narrative, Taylor creates a timely picture of the colonial world characterized by an interplay of freedom and slavery, opportunity and loss.
Describes the earliest years of human colonization of the American continent and environs with the Siberian migrations across the Bering Strait. This book conveys the story of competing interests - Spanish, French, English, Native, Russian - that over the centuries shaped both the continent and its 'suburbs' in the Caribbean and the Pacific.
