From the rear cover

"The Middleton-Lombard text provides a superb introduction to the complex history of colonial America. Its prose, coverage, organization, maps, and illustrations attest to the careful attention to detail which the subject deserves."
Joyce Appleby, University of California, Los Angeles

"This new edition brings the classic survey text in colonial American history abreast of the latest scholarship without sacri cing any of the earlier versions' coherence, clarity, and accessibility. A superb overview."
Fred Anderson, University of Colorado, Boulder

The story of how the 13 North American colonies established by Great Britain went on to form the nucleus of the United States is both fascinating and complex. Since its initial publication in 1992, Colonial America has garnered wide acclaim for its accessibility and well-balanced approach in revealing the myriad in uences that shaped early American history to a wide audience. The fourth edition is certain to enhance its sterling reputation as the standard textbook for students of this seminal period of American history.

Fully updated and revised to re ect the most recent scholarship, the fourth edition features extensive new coverage of the simultaneous development of French, Spanish, and Dutch colonies in North America. Other additions include enhanced coverage of the English colony of Barbados and trans-Atlantic in uences on colonial development, as well as rewritten and updated chapters on families and women. More focused attention is also given to the perspectives of Native Americans and their important in uences in shaping the history and development of the colonies.

With its continued in-depth coverage of the background, founding, and development of the 13 English North American colonies, Colonial America: A History to 1763, Fourth Edition offers the most complete portrait of the diverse people, events, and in uences that lead to the creation of the United States.
