Huge disappointment
I purchased this book expecting accurate statistics on a variety of parameters such as births, deaths, murders, divorce, marriage, etc., THROUGHOUT the history of the United States. I discovered most of the data only goes back 40, 60, or at the most 100 years. The book should be retitled "20th Century Historical Statistics of the U.S.," or, more accurately, "Historical...

This review is from: The Historical Statistics of the United States (Hardcover)
I purchased this book expecting accurate statistics on a variety of parameters such as births, deaths, murders, divorce, marriage, etc., THROUGHOUT the history of the United States. I discovered most of the data only goes back 40, 60, or at the most 100 years. The book should be retitled "20th Century Historical Statistics of the U.S.," or, more accurately, "Historical Statistics of the U.S. Since 1960." Interspersed with the scanty statistics are the predictable assortment of pro-big-government, collectivist, statist essays from an array of rarified academic types. The 5-volume book is now moldering on my shelf. On the upside, would be great for pressing flowers, stopping doors, dropping on roaches, etc. Thank God I got this used, for about 90% off the list price.
