West of the Revolution

In 1776, while well-known events shaped American history, remarkable and lesser-known developments were unfolding across the continent and beyond. Claudio Saunt's narrative highlights these diverse moments, from European colonial efforts in San Francisco and Alaska to Native American resilience and expansion, revealing a complex, interconnected web of global history during a pivotal year. The book explores how these lesser-known stories contributed to the larger canvas of revolutionary change across North America and the world.
