Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is part travelogue and part social commentary, and through the lens of the author's journey to the western United States in search of investment opportunities we see a story of the western expansion of America. The book begins after the Civil War, a time when the author feels the country's energy and confidence in its future, and when the West represents limitless possibilities. The author is seeking to secure his financial future with investments in sheep, but the narrative includes his personal anecdotes and experiences and the differences between the Eastern society he's left behind and the wild frontier of the West which he encounters. This book serves as a commentary on the morality, the social problems, and the growing pains of a rapidly changing country.
