When I bought "The American Frontier", I was doing a History Fair project about the exploration and settling of the American West. When I found it here, I decided to buy it because it looked like it covered the time periods I needed. Although it did, it didnt go into the kind of info I really needed, but I did use it to help me because it had tons of graphics in it. If you love cowboys, though, you should think about getting this book.

This text book gives the reader a visual account of the american west as well as insightful articles for the college level reader. I recommend this book for all those interested in the american frontier
