major problems in the history of the american west

if you are looking for detail tying President T Jefferson, the Louisiana Purchase, Lewis and Clark expedition and many versions of the American Indian, this book is for you

Good for student and lay reader

Bought this book for a grad level class I am taking. Very easy to read. Preface in each chapter to historical documents and separate preface to modern writings. Gives a look at both sides of the story; not just the party line. Would recommend to both student and lay reader alike.
