A Picture Story of the United States #nn

This comic book presents a pictorial history of the United States, beginning with the Revolutionary War and the early challenges of the new nation. It depicts Washington's victory at Yorktown in 1781 and the subsequent difficulties the thirteen colonies faced under their loose confederation, including trade disputes and financial troubles that threatened the union's stability. The narrative then progresses through the Civil War, highlighting the Battle of Gettysburg, Lincoln's famous address, Lee's surrender, and the devastation of Sherman's campaign through Georgia. Finally, the comic concludes with the Post-War Twenties, covering the era of unprecedented prosperity following World War I, featuring notable achievements such as Charles Lindbergh's transatlantic flight, the development of radio and sound movies, and cultural contributions from figures like George Gershwin, before turning to the stock market crash of October 1929 and the onset of the Great Depression.
