Propelled across the continent by notions of rugged individualism" and "manifest destiny," pioneer americans soon discovered that such slogans only partly disguised the fact that building an empire meant destroying a wilderness. Through an astonishing range of media, they voiced their concern about america's westward mission. Drawing on a wide variety of evidence, lee clark mitchell portrays the growing apprehensions originally published in 1981. The princeton legacy library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of princeton university press.
