Unique photographic reproductions portray the migration west from its beginnings in the East, the struggle to carve a new life in a new land, and the efforts to realize the truly American Dream, giving substance and reality to a vital segment of American history. The Taming of the West reveals not only the expansion of a nation but also the growth of a people, their aspirations and their achievements, their defeats and their victories. This spectacular visual document records in exquisite detail the toil and sweat of miners and farmers, the fever of gold-rush Alaska, the pride and resignation of the Indian - unheralded people who tamed the land, quite unaware that they were effecting a major transformation in American history. The Taming of the West is a pictorial social history of the men and women who forged westward, leaving their pattern on the land and the imprint of the land on our culture . . . - Publisher. *** CONTENTS: The American dream; The way west; Golden Alaska; The Native Americans; The bountiful land.
