America's West: A History, 1890-1950
David M. Wrobel's new book is the first of a projected two-volume history of the American West since 1890. The author contends that the twentieth-century West “played a major role in shaping the course of the nation's history,” no less than in the earlier “frontier” era that Frederick Jackson Turner so famously wrote about and that western history buffs care more about (p. 7). Wrobel's thesis is clear: the modern West was created, developed, and …

The Tortilla Curtain and California's Nativist Heritage
T. C. Boyle's epic California novel The Tortilla Curtain appeared in 1995, in the aftermath of the Proposition 187 controversy that roiled the state, but the issues Boyle raised—immigration, nativism, and racial conflict in California—remain no less relevant today. Indeed, as this essay explains, California's discomfiture over immigration dates back to the Gold Rush era of the 1850s and has been a constant feature of state politics and culture ev…

Historic Preservation and the Imagined West: Albuquerque, Denver, and Seattle
With this addition to the burgeoning field of historic preservation studies, Judy Mattivi Morley narrates the fall and rise of five old neighborhoods in three cities of the American West: Albuquerque's Old Town; Denver's Larimer Square and Lower Downtown; and Seattle's Pioneer Square and Pike Place Market. Morley wants to emphasize the importance of historic districts for “civic identity” in western communities where nonindigenous history is brie…

Pioneers and Padres: Competing Mythologies in Northern and Southern California, 1850-1930
Like other white westerners, California migrants devised myths about their new homeland to foster a sense of regional identity. This article examines the origins of two separate and competing California mythologies: the Gold Rush Myth and the Spanish Myth. It suggests that conquest and colonization in the West entailed a process of myth-making that was hotly contested—but not always along racial lines

Competitive Boosterism: How Milwaukee Lost the Braves
By any measure, major-league baseball in North America surely qualifies as big business. The national pastime is a vital component of today's urban political economy, and baseball teams resemble other high-prestige businesses in that cities must compete for the privilege of hosting them—whatever their true worth. This article analyzes the transfer of the Milwaukee Braves baseball franchise to Atlanta in 1965 as the outcome of “competitive booster…
