This article presents information on two volumes of the book "The Oxford History of the United States, 1783-1917," by Samuel Eliot Morison. For most U.S. readers the initial interest of these volumes will probably consist in the supposed implication that a history of the U.S., written primarily for an English audience, must be something different from a history of the U.S. designed for U.S. consumption. Yet U.S. history, after all, is only U.S. history, to be taken or left, if you please, according to taste, but hardly to be altered in fact or meaning to suit the national prejudices or geographical locations of those who may choose to write or study it.
