"Preserving Western History" is the first college reader to address
public history in the American West. Andrew Gulliford's collection
of essays explains the research and work that public historians do
and the complicated issues of historic site preservation and
interpretation.
The contributors' writings document the application of public
history to specific Western themes, places, and personalities.
Subjects range from the Little Big Horn Battlefield to Route 66 and
from historic brothel buildings at the Mustang Ranch in Nevada to
Nikkei removal from Bainbridge Island, Washington. Other chapters
interpret the Ludlow Massacre Site, define Hispanic identity and
lifeways in New Mexico, discuss wild land firefighter memorials and
explain the Wilderness Act as a case study in western public
history. Other studies focus on Sand Creek, Colorado and Western
Mining Landscapes.
Each section begins with an introductory essay that surveys the
literature and relevant publications, and each chapter includes
endnotes and study questions. The appendix lists academic centers
in the West.
