Charles Austin Beard was the most influential American historian of the early 20th century. He published hundreds of monographs, textbooks and interpretive studies in both history and political science. His wife Mary Ritter Beard was one of the founders of the first Greek-letter society for women, Kappa Alpha Theta. Together they authored this book (published in 1921) which at the time was a radical look into the history of the USA, how the colonies came to be, how the colonists lived together, the lives of various American inventors and more. An interesting perspective. Learn things you never knew before.
