The Frontier in American HistoryCourier Corporation, 10 Apr 2012 - 400 halaman Written in 1893, this enormously influential survey revised previous interpretations of U.

Subjects include "The First Official Frontier of the Massachusetts Bay," "The Old West," "The Ohio Valley in American History," "Contributions of the West to American Democracy," "Social Forces in American History," "Middle Western Pioneer Democracy," and many other topics. This edition features a new Introduction that traces the book's significance. Students, teachers, historians, and anyone with an interest in American history will find it a fascinating resource. |
