A concise edition of the authors' definitive history of the
American West, updated and rewritten for a popular audience "From
the Caribbean to Canada and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, this
marvelous survey spotlights the unexpected twists and turns that
occurred when peoples met and mingled and how from these cultural
encounters emerged today's American West. Hine and Faragher find in
our frontier history the key to 'our common past' and a 'blueprint
for our common future.'"-Stephen Aron, Department of History, UCLA
Published in 2000 to critical acclaim, The American West: A New
Interpretive History quickly became the standard in college history
classrooms. Robert V. Hine and John Mack Faragher here offer a
concise edition of their classic text, freshly updated. Lauded for
their lively and elegant writing, the authors provide a grand
survey of the colorful history of the American West, from the first
contacts between Native Americans and Europeans to the beginning of
the twenty-first century. Frontiers introduces the diverse peoples
and cultures of the American West and explores how men and women of
different ethnic groups were affected when they met, mingled, and
often clashed. Hine and Faragher present the complexities of the
American West-as frontier and region, real and imagined, old and
new. Showcasing the distinctive voices and experiences of frontier
characters, they explore topics ranging from early exploration to
modern environmentalism, drawing expansively from a wide range of
sources. With four galleries of fascinating illustrations drawn
from Yale University's premier Collection of Western Americana,
some published here for the first time, this book will be treasured
by every reader with an interest in the unique saga of the American
West.
