About this title

Review:

“I have recommended the Sources of The Making of the West to several colleagues in various institutions and have told them that it contains sources that I want to use in the classroom and that students actually want to read and discuss.”
― Laura K. Hutchings, University of Utah

“This is a thoughtful collection of obvious as well as less-obvious original sources that help students to gain a fuller understanding of the history recounted in the textbook. In particular, the sources that relate to individuals (whether testimony from a trial or a scene from a play) not only bring the periods, cultures and societies to life, but also help guard against the broad generalizations that first year students so commonly make.”
― Tim Stretton, St. Mary’s University
