Limerick, Patricia Nelson, Limerick, Patricia

SUMMARY

"Limerick is one of the most engaging historians writing today."--Richard White The "settling" of the American West has been perceived throughout the world as a series of quaint, violent, and romantic adventures. But in fact, Patricia Nelson Limerick argues, the West has a history grounded primarily in economic reality--in hardheaded questions of profit, loss, competition, and consolidation. Here she interprets the stories and the characters in a new way: the trappers, traders, Indians, farmers, oilmen, cowboys, and sheriffs of the Old West "meant business" in more ways than one, and their descendents mean business today. 28 illustrations.Limerick, Patricia Nelson is the author of 'Legacy of Conquest The Unbroken Past of the American West', published 1987 under ISBN 9780393304978 and ISBN 0393304973.
