What is The American Far West in the Twentieth Century (The Lamar Series in Western History) about?

<p>In this richly insightful survey that represents the culmination of decades of research, a leading western specialist argues that the unique history of the American West did not end in the year 1900, as is commonly assumed, but was shaped as much - if not more - by events and innovations in the twentieth century. Earl Pomeroy gathers copious information on economic, political, social, intellectual, and business issues, thoughtfully evaluates it, and draws a new and more nuanced portrait of the West than has ever been depicted before.</p> <p>Pomeroy mines extensive published and unpublished sources to show how the post-1900 West charted a path that was influenced by, but separate from, the rest of the country and the world. He deals not only with the West&rsquo;s transition from an agricultural to an urban region but also with the important contributions of minority racial and ethnic groups and women in that transformation. Pomeroy describes a modern West - increasingly urban, transnational, and multicultural - that has overcome much of the isolation that challenged it at an earlier time. His final book is nothing short of the definitive source on that West.</p> <p><strong>Earl P
