    About this ebook

    The fascinating story of how and why all fifty American states were formed—and how they became a part of history’s greatest social experiment.
     
    Every US state has a unique history that deserves a separate book. The Creation of the American States provides readers with essential information on how each of the fifty states came into being. From the time of the first explorers and settlers to the present day, A. Ward Burian tells the story of how the America was established over the course of four hundred years. He examines what motivated brave souls to venture into an unknown wilderness and then delves into the time frame for each state’s discovery, settlement, and consolidation into the United States. With brief biographies interjected that spark human interest and provide perspective to what was taking place, The Creation of the American States shares a better understanding of how the North American continent was transformed from a wilderness into a powerful nation—state by state.

    Author

    A. Ward Burian

    A. Ward Burian first developed his love of history as a student at Dartmouth College. His forty-one years of business experience started in 1959 at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and several New York City banks before partnering the creation of a money market and bond trading firm in Wall Street and London. In 1986, he co-partnered a residential real estate brokerage in Connecticut that was the first affiliate of Sotheby’s International Realty. Upon retirement, he was attracted to Williamsburg where he currently resides and became an associate member of the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, a volunteer for the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, a volunteer researcher for the Jamestown-Yorktown Foundation and an instructor at the Christopher Wren Association which is operated under the aegis of the College of William & Mary. He has also written George Washington’s Legacy of Leadership, published in 2007 by Morgan James Publishing.
