Those who appreciate the impact of history will be impressed with the selection of articles." -Nebraska History
Designed for survey courses-yet in-depth enough to support intensive discussion-these seventeen classic essays traverse the history of the American West, from women's property rights in Spanish-Mexican California to the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864, from homesteading and mining to the Great Depression and World War II. Provocative and illuminating.
