The Legacy of Conquest: The Unbroken Past of the American West
ISBN: 9780393304978 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The "settling" of the American West has been perceived throughout the world as a series of quaint, violent, and romantic adventures. But in fact, Patricia Nelson Limerick argues, the West has a history grounded primarily in economic reality; in hardheaded questions of profit, loss, competition, and consolidation. Here she interprets the stories and the characters in a new way: the trappers, traders, Indians, farmers, oilmen, cowboys, and sheriffs of the Old West "meant business" in more ways than one, and their descendents mean business today.

Something in the Soil: Legacies and Reckonings in the New West
ISBN: 9780393321029 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In Something in the Soil, Patricia Nelson Limerick travels far outside the usual academic circles to bring Western past and Western present into a spirited union. Whether her topic is the rapid growth in the West today, the patent awfulness of most academic writing, or struggles over the standing of the "Great White Men" of the region s past, Limerick operates on the principle that history is an active presence in the West, layers of collective memory that are, quite literally, "something in the soil." Enlightening and always witty, this wide-ranging collection of essays and arguments from...

Trails (PB): Toward a New Western History
ISBN: 9780700605019 / Angielski / Miękka / 1991 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This is the new story of the Old West, told by ten historians who dare to reenvision the American West and knock the field of Western history on its ear. Some historians call it a revolution. The Trails Conference in Santa Fe, a 1989 gathering organized by “new" western historian Patricia Nelson Limerick, spawned widespread media coverage and academic debate and provided the impetus for this volume. There, at the end of the Santa Fe Trail, leading scholars came together to discuss, debate, and evaluate an exciting new view of our past. It amounts to a far-reaching reexamination of...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Log cabins and wagon trains, cowboys and Indians, Buffalo Bill and General Custer. These and other frontier images pervade our lives, from fiction to films to advertising, where they attach themselves to products from pancake syrup to cologne, blue jeans to banks. Richard White and Patricia Limerick join their inimitable talents to explore our national preoccupation with this uniquely American image. Richard White examines the two most enduring stories of the frontier, both told in Chicago in 1893, the year of the Columbian Exposition. One was Frederick Jackson Turner's remarkably...
