Simon Winchester, the acclaimed New York Times bestselling author of Atlantic and The Professor and the Madman, delivers his first book about America: a fascinating popular history that illuminates the men who toiled fearlessly to discover, connect, and bond the citizenry and geography of the U.S.A. from its beginnings.

How did America become "one nation, indivisible"? What unified a growing number of disparate states into the modern country we recognize today? To answer these questions, Winchester follows in the footsteps of America's most essential explorers, thinkers, and innovators, such as Lewis and Clark and the leaders of the Great Surveys; the builders of the first transcontinental telegraph and the powerful civil engineer behind the Interstate Highway System. He treks vast swaths of territory, from Pittsburgh to Portland, Rochester to San Francisco, Seattle to Anchorage, introducing the fascinating people who played a pivotal role in creating today's United States.

Throughout, he ponders whether the historic work of uniting the States has succeeded, and to what degree. Featuring 32 illustrations throughout the text, The Men Who United the States is a fresh look at the way in which the most powerful nation on earth came together.

Amazing jeans! My daughter loves them!
Size: 7 Slim, Color: Washed Blue, Size: 7 Slim, Color: Washed Blue
My daughter is really slim but tall. She is 7 about 50 pounds. She loves them and I’m so happy because all the other jeans that I buy I have to return cuz they are all too big on her. The jeans are stretchy and feel much more expensive for the price! Great quality! I will be ordering more for sure!

FANTASTIC FIT
Size: 16 Plus, Color: Washed Blue
I'm a 4'7" , 65 year old woman. Due to abdominal issues I needed jeans that give that extra something on the waist. I've tried on just about every brand of jeans ranging in size from adult/junior 6 to 12. If they fit on the legs the waist was huge. If they fit on the waist the legs and butt had enough room for me and a friend. I was resigned to wearing yoga pants and leggings with big shirts. My son mentioned that he loved the Amazon basics men's dress slacks, so I figured why not. First I looked at women's and juniors, and I knew from the measurements that I was still stuck. Then I remembered that about 15 years ago I'd buy girls pants (I was a size 12 in kids at the time) Looking at the sizes I knew a 12 was way too small, then I saw the 16 plus. With hesitation I bought them. Well glory be miss Agnes, THEY FIT. Comfortable, real jeans again. Sure, I have to take them up about 6 inches, but that's fine, not a problem. I'm just so happy to have real jeans again !!!
