But the great adventure that came next—the exploration and settlement of the lands lying to the west and stretching to the Pacific Ocean—would build a nation where only a patchwork of eastern seaboard colonies had existed before.\n\nThe first book in this series, Out Where the West Begins: Profiles, Visions, \u0026amp; Strategies of Early Western Business Leaders, profiled fifty individuals who made significant contributions to the economic development of a young nation.\n\nThis second volume follows the saga of more than one hundred influential men and women—political and military leaders, religious thinkers, civil rights proponents, suffragettes, African American pioneers, writers and artists, explorers and surveyors, architects, inventors, innovators, medical professionals, and conservationists—who together wove the story of early western frontier America. The engaging account of their lives forms a unique tapestry of human experience.\n\nIn the words of the author, “Understanding our distinctive past helps us better comprehend who we are now and who we wish to become.”\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0990550214\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: PKV.0990550214.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Anschutz, Philip F.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Excellent condition with just a hint of character.
