The Oxford Companion to United States History

The most important Oxford Companion to appear in decades--a monumental source of information on United States history and culture.

As big and as varied as the nation it portrays, The Oxford Companion to United States History explores not only America's political, diplomatic, and military history, but also social, cultural, and intellectual trends; science, technology, and medicine; the arts; and religion. The 900 articles selected for inclusion in ANB Online expand the learning experience, providing context to the biographies and further illuminating the nation's history through defining events (Wounded Knee, the Vietnam War), social movements (Suffrage, Civil Rights), ideologies (conservatism, Social Darwinism), even natural disasters and iconic sites (the Chicago Fire, Niagara Falls).
