New Worlds For All
This semester I am taking a survey class of US history up to 1865. For that class, I just finished reading a book entitled New Worlds for All: Indians, Europeans, and the Remaking of Early America by Colin G. Calloway.
New Worlds for All
The book itself was actually quite interesting. Calloway discusses how the world not only changed for the Europeans who came over to the Americas, but also how life changed for the natives who had already been here for centuries. From my experience, I can say that most Americans tend not to even consider the Native American viewpoint on the European invasion on their lands.
The American West by Dee Brown
A couple of weeks ago I just finished reading a book called The American West by Dee Brown. For anyone that wants a general overview of the American west, it is a great book.
It really focuses on the settlement of the American west after the Civil War, The Indian Wars, the large cattle drives, wild west towns and outlaws, etc. One of the things I liked most about it was that it contained a lot of pictures from the 19th century as well as several maps of the cattle trails, the battles between the US government and the Indian nations, etc. I highly recommend it.
You can find it on the History Rhymes Store (powered by Amazon.com) for $11.56.
