Informed by current scholarship and richly illustrated with full-color photographs and maps, Greater Philadelphia and the Nation and its companion volumes The Greater Philadelphia Region and Greater Philadelphia and the World bring to the public an up-to-date, diverse history of Philadelphia across its many dimensions.

This visually stunning reference--assembled by the editorial team of the online Encyclopedia of Greater Philadelphia--begins with Philadelphia's role during the American Revolution, as the nation's first capital until 1800, and as home to one of the North's largest free African American communities in the Antebellum period.
