Download or read book American West written by Keith Cochran and published by Cochran Publishing Company. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compilation of information which would take a library of several thousand volumes to obtain, with some information virtually unobtainable; some required books being extremely rare with only one or two copies known. An accumulation of facts & historical actions in a day-to-day listing, plus an extensive appendix makes this a very complete book. What also makes this book unique is that some information contained herein is in print for the first time in more than one-hundred years. The concentration of actions in the American West takes place from the end of the Civil War in 1865 to the filming of the first western movie, THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY, in 1903. However, some actions before & after these dates help make this information relevant. Dates covered are actually 1789 to 1959. And the extensive appendix includes a vast amount of information which cannot be fitted into a chronological sequence. "This book will become a standard reference for anyone doing research in this time frame, plus fascinating reading & browsing for all those interested in the American West & even those with a casual interest. It is a very hard book to lay aside."--Ed Bosin, Denver, Colorado.

Download or read book A Timeline History of the Trail of Tears written by Alison Behnke and published by Lerner Publications. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early nineteenth century, the United States was growing quickly, and many people wanted to set up homes and farms in new areas. For centuries, American Indian nations—including the Cherokee—had been living on the land that white settlers wanted. The US government often stepped in to resolve conflicts between the groups with treaties. Many of these treaties called upon American Indians to give up some of their territory. The conflicts continued as more and more white settlers moved onto American Indian land. Finally, the US government passed the Indian Removal Act of 1830. This law ordered many American Indians to leave their homes. In 1838 military officials forced the Cherokee on a dangerous and heartbreaking journey from their homeland in the southeast region of the United States to territory 800 miles away in what is now the state of Oklahoma. Their journey became known as the Trail of Tears. Learn about the Cherokee Nation's forced removal from their ancestral homeland. Track the events and turning points that led to this dark and tragic time period in US history.
Download or read book The Rise of the West written by William H. McNeill and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2009-07-30 with total page 866 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Rise of the West, winner of the National Book Award for history in 1964, is famous for its ambitious scope and intellectual rigor. In it, McNeill challenges the Spengler-Toynbee view that a number of separate civilizations pursued essentially independent careers, and argues instead that human cultures interacted at every stage of their history. The author suggests that from the Neolithic beginnings of grain agriculture to the present major social changes in all parts of the world were triggered by new or newly important foreign stimuli, and he presents a persuasive narrative of world history to support this claim. In a retrospective essay titled "The Rise of the West after Twenty-five Years," McNeill shows how his book was shaped by the time and place in which it was written (1954-63). He discusses how historiography subsequently developed and suggests how his portrait of the world's past in The Rise of the West should be revised to reflect these changes. "This is not only the most learned and the most intelligent, it is also the most stimulating and fascinating book that has ever set out to recount and explain the whole history of mankind. . . . To read it is a great experience. It leaves echoes to reverberate, and seeds to germinate in the mind."—H. R. Trevor-Roper, New York Times Book Review

Download or read book A Timeline History of the Mexican American War written by Alison Behnke and published by Lerner Publications. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the early and mid-nineteenth century, many US citizens were moving westward. Some of them settled in the territories of Texas and California, which belonged to Mexico at that time. In 1835 the tension between the two countries turned violent; US settlers started fighting for independence in the Texas Revolution. That conflict went on to ignite the Mexican-American War in 1846. The war lasted close to two years and claimed thousands of lives. In the end, Mexico lost a huge amount of land to its northern neighbor in exchange for money. The war left bitter resentments between the two governments, which now had to manage a shared border, unrest among their citizens, and their own civil wars. See how land conflicts erupted into violence between these two neighboring countries. Track the events and turning points that led to the Mexican-American War, and learn how the aftermath shaped the western expansion of the United States.
