John Bach McMaster

John Bach McMaster (June 29 1852 – May 24 1932) was an American historian.

He was born in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from the college of the City of New York in 1872, worked as a civil engineer in 1873-1877, was instructor in civil engineering at Princeton University in 1877-1883, and in 1883 became professor of American history in the University of Pennsylvania.

He is best known for his "History of the People of the United States from the Revolution to the Civil War" (1883 sqq.), a valuable supplement to the more purely political writings of James Schouler, Von Hoist and Henry Adams. His "A School History of the United States" (1897) was an extremely popular textbook for many years.
