Trans-Mississippi West.

Catalog description

This course covers the history of the Trans-Mississippi West from the Spanish era to the present. This class covers the development and impact of the American West on the life of the nation and the interactions of ethnic groups that inhabit the West. Indeed, as much as it is possible, we will attempt to cover the human actions and interactions in the West, which have fundamentally shaped the region's history as well as the history of the United State as a whole. More than that, this is a history of a frontier where a number of cultures met, clashed and evolved, making the American West the unique region it is. Prerequisite: Course is restricted to students with 24 or more semester credits earned.
