This is the story of a land of liberty, the struggle of its people for freedom - their achievement of a domestic security. The Pocket History of the United States tells of a people who, desiring religious freedom, social equality, economic and political security, went forth to an unknown and unexplored country and built a new world. Out of the chaos of a wilderness and its hardships arose a strong and steadfast nation founded on the struggle of a free society. (from cover back).
