A passionate and unparalleled look at the lives of the American colonists by the best-selling author of Benjamin Franklin. Dividing his work into twenty-four essays with sections on “New Englanders,” “Southerners,” and “Revolutionaries,” Morgan examines the history of the American colonies from the arrival of the first settlers in 1607 to the radical changes brought forth by the American Revolution.

Notes
- "In The Genuine Article, Edmund Morgan’s first collection of essays in several decades, he presents a story that begins with the arrival of the first settlers in 1607 at the doomed Jamestown colony and ends as the Founding Fathers begin the arduous task of governing a formerly rebellious and often restless people."–BOOK JACKET
