John Bach McMaster (1852–1932) was a notable American historian, best known for his comprehensive multi-volume work 'A History of the People of the United States from the Revolution to the Civil War.' Born on June 29, 1852, in Brooklyn, New York, McMaster was an educator and a prolific writer who strove to present history from the perspective of the common people rather than just political and military leaders. He graduated from the College of the City of New York in 1872 and later served as a professor of American history at the University of Pennsylvania, a position he held for many years beginning in 1883. McMaster's literary style combined narrative history with meticulous research, and he emphasized social and economic factors, making his writings accessible and engaging to a broad audience. The aforementioned book, 'A Brief History of the United States,' showcases McMaster's talent for condensing the expansive saga of the American nation into an informative overview suitable for educational purposes. His works contributed significantly to the field of American history and influenced both scholarly thought and public understanding of the United States' past. Through his writings, McMaster left a lasting imprint on historiography, highlighting the rich tapestry of American life and the complexities of its evolution.
