HIST 385 - America's Frontiers

Institution:

Duquesne University

Subject:

HIST - History

Description:

The frontier played a significant role in the America’s national creation myth, for it was the stage for and challenge to individuals seeking to fulfill their own and their nations’ (the U.S. and others) destinies. The land and its peoples—Native Americans, pioneers, soldiers, ranchers, and other actors—have been depicted in epic dimensions in print, paint, and film. This course introduces students to the contacts and conflicts on the western frontiers, the processes and community and cultural development in the West, and how these have been manifested in the popular imagination.
