The encyclopedia documents the American western experience from the 18th through the mid 20th centuries, offering up the traditional cowboy and Indian fare and also revisionist efforts toward historical inclusivity. The volume's multiethnic frontier spans the regions west of the Mississippi plus Hawaii and Alaska, noting states histories, biographies, significant historical events, and the social and cultural lives of the people who lived and migrated to each region. Each entry is cross-referenced, and includes a brief bibliography of resources plus photographs. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
