Domesticating the West: The Re-creation of the Nineteenth-Century American Middle Class - Women in the West
Brenda K. Jackson
The West offered new opportunities for middle-class eastern families who endured hardship, uncertainty, and displacement during the Civil War, and struggled to carve out social space in the war's aftermath. This book examines the motivations of late-nineteenth-century middle-class migrants who moved west to build communities.
