The American West
Author: Dee Brown
Publisher: Touchstone (1995)

The American West centers on three subjects: Native Americans, settlers, and ranchers. Dee Brown re-creates these groups struggles for their place in this new landscape and illuminates the history of the old West in a single volume, filled with maps and vintage photographs. In his spirited telling of this national saga, Brown demonstrates once again his abilities as a master storyteller and as an entertaining popular historian.

 

What Others Say:
"Brown keeps the reader engaged with simple, vivid, straightforward prose...chosing just the right quote culled from dozens of published sourced, many of them obscure...trimly and entertainly told."
        -Elliott West, The Washington Post Book World
