Long the standard source for quantitative indicators of
American history, a new edition of Historical Statistics of
the United States is something that reference librarians,
historians, and social scientists have long awaited. Not
since the Bicentennial Edition was published in 1975 has new
data and material been available. At last, a sweeping,
comprehensive, and thoroughly revised new edition is
available; one that reflects thirty years of information and
new scholarship. Utilizing information from the 2000 Census,
this essential reference has been updated for the new
Millennium providing rich materials for both contemporary
and historical researchers. Historical Statistics of the
United States, Millennial Edition is a stunning achievement
and a monumental work of collaborative scholarship providing
a comprehensive compendium of statistics from over 1,000
sources recording every aspect of the history of the United
States from population to prices; from voting patterns to
Vietnam veterans; from energy to education; from abortions
to zinc and everything in between. Over 80 scholars have
contributed their efforts and expertise to select, assemble,
and document the data, to write the introductory essays, and
to analyze the material.
