书籍介绍

In this collection of letters, diaries, interviews, and public writings from people who were "in the right place at the right time," David Colbert gives us a history of the American West, "but not the one we usually encounter and expect" ( Dallas Morning News ).

Spanning 500 years from the Aztecs' first encounte***ith Spanish conquistadors to the explosion of technology in Silicon Valley today, vivid episodes swirl together, revealing patterns that link early Kentuckians and Asian immigrants, Morm*** and black "Buffalo Soldiers," the first Los Angeles smog and an 1811 earthquake that reversed the Mississippi's flow, the Trail of Tears and the Summer of Love, Ge***ia O'Keefe at Taos, the origin of Levi's, and the eruption of culture in the contemporary Northwest. David Colbert's kaleidoscope of the American experience invites readers to delve into any moment in the history of the West, offering clear themes that will satisfy history buffs, and enough entertaining surprises to delight the casual reader.

No one interested in Western history will want to miss this fascinating collection of comments from those who were there and saw it happening." --Tony Hillerman

"The more selecti*** you read, the more you want to read. The eyewitnesses to the West not only tell us who they are; they help us figure out who we are." -- San Jose Mercury News

* A Selection of the Li***ry Guild

* Charles Kuralt called Colbert's first book, Eyewitness to America , "the best Americana selection on my shelf"
