hen we think of the American
West, we tend to conjure up
images that are known the
world over: bearded forty-
niners leading pack mules up a mountain trail, the
Oklahoma land stampede, Custer s Last Stand,
and especially the range-riding, quick-shooting
cowboy. But these familiar images are only a small
part of western history. From the arrival of the
Navajos
in the Southwest more than seven hun¬
dred years ago, to the first Spanish settlements in
New Mexico in the late sixteenth century, to the
large Mormon migration to the Great Salt Lake,
to the tourists flocking to the neon landscape of
modern Las Vegas, the complex story of the West
stretches across centuries, embracing many voices
and contrasting cultures. The West is in fact as
varied as America itself. Indeed, to enlarge on
Wallace Stegner s singular phrase, the West is
America, only more so.
Lavishly illustrated and based on the finest
scholarship, The Oxford History of the American West is
the first comprehensive study to do full justice to
the rich complexity of this region. It brings
together the work of twenty-eight leading western
historians who explore this area from a dazzling
number of perspectives. They provide insightful
portraits of the West as a distinctive place of
many peoples
—
native and non-native, European
and Asian, African and Latino
—
and of many ter¬
rains
—
from the timbered Pacific Northwest to
the Dakota Badlands, and from the fires of
Kilauea to the ice cliffs of Glacier Bay, Alaska.
They describe the great wealth generated by a
series of spectacular bonanzas, such as gold at
Sutter s Mill, copper in
Butte,
Montana, and oil
on Alaska s north shore; illuminate the role of the
West in the national and global economy; and
consider the environmental challenges created by
replacing buffalo with cattle or by designating
national
parks and military test sites. The book
also examines the social forces behind the violence
of the West, the great political movements that
affected the region (most notably, the Populist
Party), and the importance of families in settling
the West (including the story of one family s west¬
ward migration over
150
years). The authors pro¬
vide important insights about many long-standing
controversies, and they offer not only the fruits of
the latest thinking about the West, but also a
vivid sense of how people actually lived. For exam¬
ple, we read of pioneers who grated green corn to
make pudding they flavored with berries and
grasshoppers, and who ate the culms (the soft
inner linings of the stalks) like asparagus. Finally,
each chapter concludes with an extensive anno¬
tated bibliography, offering a full review of related
material, and there is a comprehensive index to
guide readers to topics of special interest.
Ranging from a thoughtful analysis of John
Ford s classic My Darling Clementine, to a revisionist
look at cattle grandee Granville Stuart (once
Montana s most revered pioneer), to a survey of
Western art and literature (including figures as
diverse as Francis Parkman, Frederic Remington,
Willa
Cather, Georgia O Keeffe, and
N.
Scott
Momaday), this lively, authoritative volume con¬
tinually challenges the familiar as it broadens the
reader s understanding of a vast and varied region.
