HIST 0272 - History of the American West

Credits: 3

The American West is a one semester, upper-division history course which examines the evolution of the Trans-Mississippi American West through the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Themes will include the western mining frontier, the cattlemen’s frontier, and the farmer’s frontier. These themes will be further developed by an examination of federal government policy toward Native Americans and environmental issues. This approach will also be augmented by a thorough investigation of social, economic, political, and multicultural issues in the Trans-Mississippi West.
