The History of the United States of America, 1801–1817, also known as The History of the United States of America During the Administrations of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, is a nine-volume history written by American intellectual Henry Adams. It was first published between 1889 and 1891. The entire work has been reprinted many times, most often in a two-volume format. Historian Garry Wills described it as "the greatest prose masterpiece of non-fiction in America in the 19th century."[1] The critic and poet Dan Chiasson also praised the book's singular reputation, writing in The New Yorker, "To many, it is the greatest work of history written by an American."[2]
