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.
