Forgotten Founders by Stewart L. Udall & David M. Emmons
Rethinking the History of the Old West
An exploration of the American West, making a case that the key players in the western settlement were the sturdy families who travelled great distances to set down communities. Instead of the "wild west" of films the text points to the settlers who wanted stability not aggression.Former secretary of the interior and native westerner Stewart L. Udall draws on extensive research and his vast knowledge of and experience in the American West to offer a provocative new look at one of the most important chapters of American history. He presents a fascinating and wide-ranging overview of western history and those who have written about it, challenging conventional wisdom on subjects ranging from Manifest Destiny to the importance of Eastern capitalists to the role of religion in westward settlement. |
