The History of the United States of America by Richard Hildreth is an extensive, thorough history of the discovery, foundation, and development of the United States. Published in two series from 1849 to 1852, this work covers the earliest voyages of Columbus, Vespucci, Cabot, and Magellan as well as describing the establishment of early colonies such as Massachusetts Bay, Plymouth, and St. Augustine. It also covers, as might be expected, the Revolutionary War, the development of an American government, and all of the lives of the founding fathers.
