This updated volume of Representative Americans highlights three generations of colonial Americans-men and women who founded, shaped, and coined traditions of this country. This is a glimpse into a time of empire and frontier, religion, and science. The breadth of this experience is represented in the book's three sections.

This volume is divided into three sections, each exploring one of the era's dominant themes, from the military men to life on the homefront, to the people who sought to mould an American national character.
