Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Pacific Railroads and the Disappearance of the Frontier in America' explores the profound impact of railroad expansion on the American West during the 19th century. Frederic Logan Paxson examines how the completion of the transcontinental railroads transformed the frontier, accelerating settlement, economic development, and the integration of the West into the national fabric. This historical account details the social, economic, and political consequences of this transformative era, highlighting the displacement of indigenous populations, the rise of new industries, and the reshaping of American identity. Paxson's work provides valuable insights into the relationship between technology, geography, and the evolving landscape of the United States.
