From the author of The Apache Wars, this wide-ranging history “strips away the layers of myth” to tell a fuller story of the American West, balancing tales of exploration and nation-building with the realities of violence, exploitation, and environmental damage from Braddock’s 1755 defeat through the 1890 Wounded Knee massacre. Hutton frames the narrative through seven figures—Daniel Boone, Red Eagle, Davy Crockett, Mangas Coloradas, Kit Carson, Sitting Bull, and “Buffalo Bill” Cody—using their lives to trace seven generations of westward movement and conflict.
