Cities in the Wilderness: The First Century of Urban Life in America, 1625-1742
by Carl Bridenbaugh
On This Page
Description
Today more than half of all Americans make their homes in cities, and the ease of modern transportation causes the lives of many more to be affected by town conditions. Our national history has been that of transition from a predominantly rural and agricultural way of living to one in which the city plays a major role. Both materially and psychologically urban factors govern much of American life. Their origins are therefore of more than passing interest.Tags
