The Last American Frontier is a book written by Frederic Logan Paxson that explores the history of the American West during the 19th century. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the expansion of the United States, the displacement of Native American populations, the gold rush, and the growth of western cities. Paxson delves into the lives of famous figures such as Davy Crockett, Kit Carson, and Buffalo Bill Cody, as well as lesser-known individuals who played a significant role in shaping the history of the American West. The book also examines the impact of technology, such as the railroad and the telegraph, on the development of the region.Throughout the book, Paxson provides a balanced perspective on the conflicts and controversies that arose during the westward expansion, including the treatment of Native Americans and the environmental impact of settlement. The Last American Frontier is a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most significant periods in American history.1913. Illustrated.
