Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of autobiographical essays by a man who was born in the mid-1800s and lived through a period of significant social and technological change in the United States. A child of the West, where European settlers predominately populated the area, the author contrasts the attitudes of Westerners toward Easterners and other outsiders. The author's father was from Virginia and his mother was from Kentucky, part of a wave of migration that brought pioneers seeking better lives to the West and fostered an atmosphere of tolerance and enlightenment. The author himself had a diverse group of teachers, with varying backgrounds and educational levels. Despite geographical isolation and limited opportunities for travel and communication with the rest of the US, the West was a hub of culture and progress. The author vividly depicts how the coming of railroads revolutionized life in the West, leading to increased population, the mingling of people from many different parts of the country, and the exchange of ideas. This book provides a unique and insightful perspective on the historical and cultural backdrop of the American West and illuminates the region's central role in shaping the character of the United States. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331321934_0
