“With fresh insights and lively writing, this brief volume
addresses major themes of culture, environment, politics, violence,
and popular myth-making that shaped the American West from earliest
times to the present day. By focusing on the West’s diverse
peoples, women and men, Butler and Lansing underscore the
fascinating complexity of this vast region that remains vital for
an understanding of the United States and its history.”
Clyde A. Milner, Arkansas State University
“With admirable clarity, the authors analyze the
West’s diverse regions, meanings, and populations across many
centuries. This is a fine, insightful book.” William
Deverell, University of Southern California
“A wonderfully readable, thematically sophisticated survey of western history that draws heavily on the voluminous recent scholarship on the West to illuminate developments in race and gender relations, labor, the environment, economics and politics, and the region’s central place in the national imagination.” David Wrobel, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
