From Hometown to Battlefield in the Civil War Era
Mahoney examines how members of the middle class from small cities across the great West were transformed by boom and bust, years of recession, and civil war.

By grounding t…
Hinterland Dreams
Eric J. Morser suggests that the portrayal of the development of the American West as a realm forged by “stateless people on the make” (p. 103) on a “stateless frontier” (p. 190) is an “alluring yet fundamentally flawed and incomplete vision” that frames too much of public policy debate today (ibid.). The development of western cities such as La Crosse, Wisconsin, is usually explained as resulting from the efforts of “local entrepreneurs” who too…

This straightforward study examines how s…
