History of the American West and Borderlands.

Catalog description

Few Americans regions have generated as many cultural narratives, myths, and icons as the American West. Exploring conflicts and conquests alongside Western culture and the creating of the mythic West, we will examine the West through the multiple perspectives of the many people who have lived there. Using novels, histories, first-hand accounts, art, and film, we will trace the history and culture of the West and its borderlands.
