| Summary | "A Popular History of the United States of America, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Mary Howitt is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work provides an extensive overview of the early exploration and colonization of America, detailing significant events and figures from the time of the Vikings up to the establishment of the English colonies. The book is likely to appeal to readers interested in American history, explorers, and the sociopolitical dynamics of early colonial times. The opening of this volume sets the stage by discussing the initial discoveries of the American continent, beginning with the Vikings who reached the shores of North America centuries before Columbus. It highlights the excitement surrounding these early voyages, such as those of Columbus and John Cabot, while contextualizing their efforts within the broader historical narrative of European exploration. The narrative captures the motivations behind these explorations, including the quest for wealth, resources, and new territories, and introduces key players in this transformative period. Notably, it emphasizes the challenges and adventures faced by explorers and the implications of their discoveries, leading towards the subsequent colonization efforts.
