The Shaping of America: A Geographical Perspective on 500 Years of History by D W Meinig
This volume on America's development from the mid-19th century to 1915 begins with the struggle over where to build the Pacific railway. Meinig portrays the settlement of the American West, examines the South as an imperial province, and considers America's pressures upon Canada and Mexico.“The geographical development of the nation in this period comes through with a fullness and power that make this book a compelling read for anyone with any curiosity about the American experience on this continent”—Michael P. Conzen, University of Chicago
D. W. Meinig is Maxwell Research Professor of Geography at Syracuse University and the author of Volumes 1 and 2 of The Shaping of America.
