SynopsisThis vivid narrative history -- magnificently illustrated with more than 400 photographs, many of them never before published -- takes us on a gripping journey through the turbulent history of the region that has come to symbolize America around the world. Drawing on hundreds of letters, diaries, memoirs, and journals as well as the latest scholarship, The West presents a cast as rich and diverse as the western landscape itself: explorers and soldiers and Indian warriors, settlers and railroad builders and gaudy showmen. The book is filled with stories of heroism and hope, enterprise and adventure, as well as tragedy and disappointment. It explores the tensions between whites and the native peoples they sought to displace, but it also encompasses the Hispanic experience in the West. Gracefully written, handsomely designed, meticulously researched, The West is an unrivaled work of history that brilliantly captures all the drama and excitement, the sober realities and bright myths of the American West.

Life in this era written about and shown well.
Doing research for a book I'm writing. This book shows and tells about a lot of the things I'm including in it. What stands out is the way the USA has mistreated the Native Americans and the ways it went about taking their lands and causing them to be displaced or to die. This book covers the years that I need to research well.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
