WELCOME
As the American Revolution drew to a close and the colonies
claimed independence from Britain, the United States’ gaze
turned west to the vast expanse of land that was seemingly ripe
for the taking. After all, according to their Manifest Destiny, it
was their God-given right to expand.
In the Book of the American Frontier, uncover the resistance
that these enterprising settlers faced, from the Native Americans
to the unforgiving terrain. Discover the reality of what life was
like on the frontier, and meet some of the key figures in creating
the legend of the Wild West, including Billy the Kid and Wyatt
Earp. Elsewhere, find out how the Native Americans suffered at
the hands of the settlers, from wars and legislation that stripped
them of their rights, to attempts to crush existing cultures.
