J essica M. K im . Imperial Metropolis: Los Angeles, Mexico, and the Borderlands of American Empire, 1865–1941
During the thirty years from 1890 to 1920, Los Angeles became the most important city in the American West. Its ascent was rooted in an empire stretching from the petroleum fields of the southern San Joaquin Valley, through the orange groves of the Inland Empire, to the irrigated fields of the Imperial Valley. In this important monograph—part of the David J. Weber Series in the New Borderlands History, published in association with the William P.…

He concludes with a provocative discussion of biology and human affairs in which he poses questions about brain programming and its relatio…
And the lonely voice of youth cries 'What is truth: Western History and the National Narrative
A couple of years ago, I got a call from my oldest grandson, Jeremy. He was beginning middle school and taking his first class devoted to American history. For their initial homework assignment the teacher asked the students to speak with an older relative about their view of the American past and report on what he or she said. When Jeremy mentioned that two of his grandfathers were history professors (a complete coincidence, by the way), the tea…

Commentary: Settler colonial studies and the North American frontier
Settler colonial studies offer a valuable perspective on the history of the North American frontier. Although the comparative study of settler colonies was an important project of American historians in the 1970s, it was not until the field had developed in Australia in the 1990s that it became an important part of historical practice in the USA. Applying the model to the history of the earliest settler colonies in North America, however, suggest…

My Father, Daniel Boone: The Draper Interviews with Nathan Boone
Daniel Boone is one of the most famous figures of the American frontier. He clashed with the Shawnee and became a land speculator who sought to exploit the riches of a newly settled region. Because fact and fiction have become so enmeshed in the Boone legend, Lyman Draper's interviews with Boone's son, Nathan, and his wife, Olive, provide a wealth of accurate information about Boone's first trip to Kentucky, his capture by Indians, his defense of…
