The human tradition in the American West
The Human Tradition in the American West is an engrossing collection of 16 biographies of men and women whose contributions to the development of the American West have largely been left untold in the history books. This volume goes beyond the traditional biographical reader by including the lives that collectively offer racial and gender diversity as well as differing class and sexual orientation backgrounds. Editors Benson Tong and Regan A. Lutz have assembled an impressive group of scholars whose succinct and well-written accounts will give readers a more complete understanding of this diverse, dynamic region of the United States.
