Global West, American Frontier: Travel, Empire, and Exceptionalism from Manifest Destiny to the Great Depression - Calvin P. Horn Lectures in Western History and Culture
David M. Wrobel
Looking at both European and American travelers' accounts of the West, from de Tocqueville's Democracy in America to William Least Heat-Moon's Blue Highways, David Wrobel offers a counternarrative to the nation's romantic entanglement with its western past and suggests the importance of some long-overlooked authors, lively and perceptive witnesses to our history who deserve new attention.
