This colourful history of the 'The American West' describes through fascinating descriptive detail, pictures, and photographs the creation of United States. Establishing the first European colonies, the pioneering exploration of unknown territories, clashing with native Indian tribes, the gradual spread of trade, wealth, and influence, the building of towns and railways, the legendary status of cowboys and outlaws, culminating in the encroaching industry of a modern world.... A great, inspiring work by an author renowned for his involvement with American History based upon a dual perspective from both Settler and North American Indian cultures. Another birthday gift received many years ago, for which I'm truly grateful.
