I work online and need at times to go back last month or further back in time. Can you please tell me how I can set my history to go back past this month and how I can recover right now from last month?

If history older than one month isn't present then this means that this older history has been deleted.
This can have been done manually or automatically by cleanup software on your computer.
So you need to check for scheduled Windows tasks when you notice that you lose history items.

Do you still have all the history from past year December?

When I go and look at my history this is what I see as far to go back. Is there another way to see the rest i.e. last month?

No, if there is no history available other than the current month then this older history has been deleted and is gone.

You would need an older version of the places.sqlite file.

Note that restoring an older copy of this file will remove bookmarks that have been added since.
