About the Authors

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. Now in print and online for the first time, this thoroughly revised edition reflects thirty years of information and new scholarship, providing a comprehensive compendium of statistics from over 1,000 sources, recording every aspect of the history of the US. The electronic edition has been designed to give users a variety of means to search and navigate the vast amount of data available. Users will be able to graph individual tables or to combine data from different tables into 'custom tables' and to download tables for use in spreadsheets and other applications. Visit www.cambridge.org/historicalstats for further information and to discover more.
- This updated version of this essential reference work includes both the five volume print version and access to the online version, available together for the first time

Reviews & endorsements
'Historical Statistics of the United States … contains an indispensable collection of data on every conceivable subject in American history, from population shifts to economic production, motor vehicle deaths to sources of energy.' Eric Foner, Professor of History, Columbia University
'Forthcoming from Cambridge University Press in the spring of 2006 is an update of a landmark reference long overdue for revision. Historical Statistics of the United States: The Millennial Edition, a compendium of statistics from over 1000 sources last updated in the distant 1975, has been expanded to include over 37,000 data series - three times more than in the previous edition - and dozens of new topics, among them slavery, American Indians, and poverty. The monumental five-volume work will be available in both print and electronic format.' Library Journal Reference Roundup
'Personally, I found this revision to be an outstanding achievement. The depth and scope of the material is impressive and when coupled with the ability to use the data electronically the HSUS becomes one of the premiere research tools for statistical analysis.' Aimee C. Quinn, Assistant Professor and Assistant Documents Librarian, and Richard J. Daley Library, University of Illinois at Chicago
