Review: A 1925 Pulitzer Winner + Amazing Account of American History - Let me start out by saying that this is a beautifully laid out book, and looks great. This is a reprint of the original work published in 1925, and is far more beautiful than any vintage copy I’ve seen. I would recommend this book to just about anyone – it’s a true marvel of American history and a rare glimpse of the Wild West, written by someone who was actually alive much closer to the time period he is studying. Paxson’s work is unrivaled compared to other accounts of the West that I’ve seen. TL/DR: buy this book and give it a chance. Now, for a more detailed review: This won the Pulitzer in 1925. The version I read is the version that was re-published in 2022. While it looks like some other reviewers mentioned typos in the text, I didn’t find many. This is likely because the editors corrected these in subsequent printings. I also found some strangely outdated words used that could be mistaken for a typo (after all, this was written in 1925). That’s my biggest issue with the book: it’s a bit old, and a bit dense. Honestly, I love history and even I found it a little hard to read at times. If you love history, you’ll love this – but it’s a bit of a slow start, particularly as it focuses so heavily on detailed minutiae of the settling of the Ohio River (boring) before it gets to the more exciting stuff (The Louisiana Purchase, the War of 1812, the Jackson administration, the Civil War, etc.). Still, once you get over the more dense parts, there are some very nuanced, insightful chapters on unique periods of American History. It’s remarkable to see that this work spans from the pre-Revolutionary days all the way from the Administration of George Washington to Grover Cleveland – a period of 130+ years. While I ultimately think that the view of American History has changed and evolved over the past 100 years – and rest assured, this work retains the original text which has some not “politically correct” phrasing in it – I continue to find this to be an enormously insightful and important book. A great supplement to other works including Presidential biographies, A People’s History of the United States, and others that cover the same era. Highly readable!
Review: Good read - Print is too small for my old eyes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good read
*by T***L on October 26, 2025*

Print is too small for my old eyes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book...could use a few maps and serious proof reading though!
*by R***L on August 22, 2025*

An extremely well researched book; I'm a fairly well-read history buff and really impressed with the details in the book, particularly the pre-1800 information. Highly recommend. One disappointment, when reading the detailed explanations of various regions, it would have been very helpful to have included basic maps showing mountains/rives/towns. It's very frustrating to read the great information without some perspective on geography. My book was printed by Grapevine Press in India. So...the editing was full of grammatical errors, improper punctuation and hanging paragraphs suddenly divided by blank lines.
