"History of the United States" is a monumental synthesis of American History subsequently produced by Charles A. Beard and his wife, Mary R. Beard. This book covers a period of more than 350 years, from the beginning of American Colonization to the establishment of The League of Nations in 1920.Charles Austin Beard (1874-1948) was, with Frederick Jackson Turner, one of the most influential American historians of the first half of the 20th century. For a while he was a history professor at Columbia University but his influence came from hundreds of monographs, textbooks and interpretive studies in both history and political science. His works included a radical re-evaluation of the founding fathers of the United States, who he believed were motivated more by economics than by philosophical principles.Mary Ritter Beard (1876-1958) was an American historian and archivist, who played an important role in the women''s suffrage movement and was a lifelong advocate of social justice through educational and activist roles in both the labor and woman''s rights movements.Contents:The Colonial PeriodThe Great Migration to AmericaThe Development of Colonial NationalismConflict and IndependenceThe New Course in British Imperial PolicyThe American RevolutionFoundations of the Union and National PoliticsThe Formation of the ConstitutionThe Clash of Political PartiesThe Jeffersonian Republicans in PowerThe West and Jacksonian DemocracyThe Farmers Beyond the AppalachiansThe Middle Border and the Great WestSectional Conflict and ReconstructionThe Civil War and ReconstructionNational Growth and World PoliticsThe Political and Economic Evolution of the SouthBusiness Enterprise and the Republican PartyThe Development of the Great WestAmerica a World Power(1865-1900)Progressive Democracy and the World WarThe Spirit of Reform in AmericaThe New Political DemocracyIndustrial Democracy - E-bokEngelska, 2018

A Dusty Tomes Audio BookIn Cooperation with Spoken Realms
The Rise of American Civilization by Charles A. Beard and Mary R. Beard. In two volumes. Volume One: The Agricultural Era. The MacMillan Company 1927.
Narrated by Joseph TablerNote: This book is ‘read as written''. It was published in 1927. It is in the public domain.
Narrator’s note: Published as a very large book … perhaps to show how special it is, and it is that!! I was tempted to split it into two books per volume, but decided to present it as originally published.
Charles A. Beard, a proponent of the “New History", which emphasized the importance of cultural economic developments as opposed to just warfare and diplomacy.
“… synthesizing the political, economic and cultural elements in our history from the colonial days to the present … with such mastery of material, such discrimination in judgment, such vigor and charm of style as characterize Professor and Mrs. Beard’s volumes is a contribution to American historiography which can only be fitly described as epochal.
… it would be invidious to emphasize a few inevitable infelicities and a few slips in proof-reading in a work of such magnificence of conception and skill in execution. The Beards have tackled a most difficult task and achieved it with brilliant success. They have set a new standard in the writing of American history and have put every student of the institutions, the civilization, and the culture of our Republic deeply in their debt.”—David S. Muzzey (Political Science Quarterly, Vol. 42, No. 3 (Sep. 1927), pp. 431–436. Published by: Oxford University Press)

Dusty Tomes Audio Books are public domain books retrieved from history. If today’s technology had been available when first printed, they would be audio books already. I am grateful for the opportunity to record them now. Read online at archive.org
Narrator’s Note: I read only as written. These old books were once solid sellers for bookmen of their time. I believe they can shed light on their times and ours. I love obscure and remote literature, they are a distinct pleasure for me to read to you. These turn out to be distant and unknown only so long as they remain unread or unheard. Aloha.
