Our European Ancestors

"Our European Ancestors: An Introduction To United States History" explores the foundational role of European heritage in shaping the United States. Eva March Tappan presents a narrative that connects the historical developments of Europe to the unfolding story of America. This volume provides readers with an understanding of the cultural, political, and societal influences that European immigrants brought to the New World, laying the groundwork for the nation's identity.

From early settlements to the establishment of key institutions, the book traces the intertwining narratives of Europe and America. Tappan's work serves as an accessible introduction to understanding how the values, conflicts, and innovations of European societies have left an indelible mark on the United States.
