Excerpt from History of the New World Called America, Vol. 2 I Probably also on the shores of the great 'moxos Lake, ' which Colonel G. E. Church, in his Presidential Address in the Geographical Section at the meeting of the British Association, 1898, shows to have once existed to the north of the ancient Mediterranean Sea of South America. During four months of the year this lake still partially reappears, covering square miles with water which cannot hnd an exit over the falls of the Madeira river, these falls not being yet sufliciently worn down to give complete drainage to the Moxos basin. The partial disappearance of this lake and the total disappearance of the Argentine sea, Which must have been almost tideless, are due to an upheaval of the earth's crust, so recent that the shells found in the ancient beaches still retain their colour. The plain of Argentina is believed to be still slowly rising; and some part of this vanished sea may well have existed in comparatively recent times - from to years ago.

• A New Republic Best Book of the Year • The Globalist Top Books of the Year • Winner of the Maine Literary Award for Non-fiction Particularly relevant in understanding who voted for who during presidential elections, this is an endlessly fascinating look at American regionalism and the eleven “nations” that continue to shape North America According to award-winning journalist and historian Colin Woodard, North America is made up of eleven distinct nations, each with its own unique historical roots. In American Nations he takes readers on a journey through the history of our fractured continent, offering a revolutionary and revelatory take on American identity, and how the conflicts between them have shaped our past and continue to mold our future. From the Deep South to the Far West, to Yankeedom to El Norte, Woodard (author of American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good) reveals how each region continues to uphold its distinguishing ideals and identities today, with results that can be seen in the composition of the U.S. Congress or on the county-by-county election maps of any hotly contested election in our history.

Excerpt from New America, Vol. 1 of 2 Some studies of past times, which have long Occupied my pen, led me last summer to the James River and to Plymouth Rock. I went out in search of an Old world, and found a new one. East, west, north, and south, I met with new ideas, new purposes, new methods; in short, with a New America. The men who planted these Free States - doing the noblest work that England has achieved in history - were spurred into their course by two great passions; a large love of Liberty; a deep sense of Religion; and, in our Great Plantation, liberty and religion exercise a power over the forms of social and domestic life unknown at home. In the heart of solid societies and conservative churches, we find the most singular doctrines, the most audacious experiments; and it is only after seeing what kind of forces are at work within them, that we can adequately admire the strength of these societies and churches.

Excerpt from The Homes of the New World, Vol. 1 of 2: Impressions of America The only excuse for troubling thee with so long a correspondence is, that if it had not been published in this manner, it would not have been published at all. And my excuse for publishing it at all is, that, for many reasons, I would not abstain from doing so. In placing these letters in thy hand, dear reader, I should wish that thy mind might be favorably disposed toward them, or, at least, might not be in opposition to the spirit in which these letters were first written. They need it more than any thing which I have yet written, because, I can not conceal it from myself, they suffer from - egotism - the offense of all autobiography. This, while it may not offend the sympathetic feelings of a brother or sister, may easily offend the stranger who does not partake in them. Much, therefore, in the letters which referred to myself, and which was personally agreeable to me, has been omitted in their transcription for the press, but not all, otherwise the ingenuous character of the letters must have been sacrificed, together with the peculiar coloring of my life and its circumstances in America. Much remains of that which individually pleased or annoyed me - perhaps more than should have remained. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
