<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Limerick is one of the most engaging historians writing today. --Richard White<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The settling of the American West has been perceived throughout the world as a series of quaint, violent, and romantic adventures. But in fact, Patricia Nelson Limerick argues, the West has a history grounded primarily in economic reality; in hardheaded questions of profit, loss, competition, and consolidation. Here she interprets the stories and the characters in a new way: the trappers, traders, Indians, farmers, oilmen, cowboys, and sheriffs of the Old West meant business in more ways than one, and their descendents mean business today.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Written with extraordinary grace and understanding, Patricia Nelson Limerick's The Legacy of Conquest returns the Western American past to the mainstream of national history."<br>
