New Nation: Westward Expansion: How the West Became American

The story of the American West is the story of the meeting of French fur traders and a variety of Indian communities, of American settlers and soldiers and Mexican families, of black miners and Chinese laborers.

Thus, the history of westward expansion is a history of accommodation and adaptation, of conquest and colonialism.
