Book excerpt: Excerpt from The West; From the Census of 1880: A History of the Industrial, Commercial, Social, and Political Development of the States and Territories of the West From 1800 to 1880 It is the aim to present in this volume a concise and accurate history of the progress of the States lying between the Alleghany and the Rocky Mountains and north of the Ohio river, Arkansas, and the Indian Territory, of the three States of the Pacific Slope, and of all the Territories of the United States except Alaska, from the beginning of the present century to the close of 1880. This vast portion of our country, covering an area of over two million square miles, and now containing nearly two-fifths of the entire population of the United States, was at the beginning of the nineteenth century a wild and almost unexplored region. To-day, the Western States and Territories have a population of nearly twenty millions; produce all our surplus meat and grain, and one-third of our manufactured products. Large and influential cities have arisen with wonderful rapidity, and the financial and commercial, as well as the agricultural, mining and manufacturing interests of this part of the United States have become of vast importance both at home and abroad. While this extraordinary advancement of civilization and development of resources in the West have been a prolific theme for writers, until the praises of this fair land have been sung in the most distant parts of the earth, no attempt has heretofore been made to bring into the treatment of the subject the light derived from recent and trustworthy statistics. The well authenticated facts, and the conclusions which these suggest, as brought together in the present volume, will, it is hoped, prove of permanent value not only to politico-economic science but to all persons who want to know the West as it is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all that has been written about the Civil War's impact on the urban northeast and southern home fronts, we have until now lacked a detailed picture of how it affected specific communities in the Union's Midwestern heartland. Nicole Etcheson offers a deeply researched microhistory of one such community--Putnam County, Indiana, from the Compromise of 1850 to the end of Reconstruction-and shows how its citizens responded to and were affected by the war. Delving into the everyday life of a small town in one of the nineteenth century's bellwether states, A Generation at War considers the Civil War within a much broader chronological context than other accounts. It ranges across three decades to show how the issues of the day-particularly race and sectionalism-temporarily displaced economic and temperance concerns, how the racial attitudes of northern whites changed, and how a generation of young men and women coped with the transformative experience of war. Etcheson interrelates an impressively wide range of topics. Through temperance and alcohol she illustrates nativism and class consciousness, while through an account of a murder she probes ethnicity, politics, and gender. She reveals how some women wanted to "maintain dependence" and how the war gave independence to others, as pensions allowed them to survive without a male provider. And she chronicles the major shift in race relations as the most revolutionary change: blacks had been excluded from Indiana in the 1850s but were invited into Putnam County by 1880. Etcheson personalizes all of these issues through human stories, bringing to life people previously ignored by history, whether veterans demanding recognition of their sacrifice, women speaking out against liquor, or Copperheads parading against Republicans. The introduction of race with the North Carolina Exodusters marks a particularly effective lens for seeing how the idealism unleashed by Lincoln's war influenced the North. Etcheson also helps us understand how white Southerners tried to reunify the country on the basis of shared white racism. Drawing on personal papers, local newspapers, pension petitions, Exoduster pamphlets, and more, Etcheson demonstrates how microhistory helps give new meaning to larger events. A Generation at War opens a new window on the impact of the Civil War on the agrarian North.
