Southwest Region of the United State

Many Wests: Place, Culture, and Regional Identity by David M. Wrobel,

What does it mean to live in the West today? Do people tend to identify with states, with regions, or with the larger West? This book examines the development of regional identity in the American West, demonstrating that it is a regionally diverse entity made up of many different wests -- Great Plains, Southwest, Rocky Mountains, southwest region of the united state and more -- in which American regionalism finds its fullest expression. These fourteen original essays tell how a sense of place emerged among residents of various regions southwest region of the united state and how a sense of those places was developed by people outside of them. Wrobel southwest region of the united state and Steiner first offer a compelling overview of the West's regional nature; then thirteen other rising or renowned scholars -- from history, American Studies, geography, southwest region of the united state and literature -- tell how regional consciousness formed among inhabitants of particular regions. All of the essays address the larger issue of the centrality of place in determining social southwest region of the united state and cultural forms southwest region of the united state and individual southwest region of the united state and collective identities. Some focus on race southwest region of the united state and culture as the primary influences on regional consciousness while others emphasize environmental southwest region of the united state and economic factors or the influence of literature. Some even examine western regionalism in areas that lie beyond the West as it has traditionally been conceived. Each of the contributors believes that where a people live helps determine what they are, southwest region of the united state and they write not only about the many wests within the larger West, but also about the constant state of flux in which regionalism exists. Many books speak of the West as a place, but few others deal with the West's different places. Many Wests presents a vision of the West that reflects both the common heritage southwest region of the united state and uniquecharacter of each major subregion, building on the revisionist impulse of the last decade to help redirect New Western History toward an appreciation of regional diversity southwest region of the united state and integrate scholarship in the regional subfields.

Expedition to the Southwest: An 1845 Reconnaissance of Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, & Oklahoma by J. W. Abert,

Lieutenant James William Abert (1820-97) of the United States Army Topographical Engineers received orders in 1845 to explore the Canadian River region of the southern plains -- an area covering present-day Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, southwest region of the united state and Oklahoma. Although this land was still in Mexican territory, the United States had gradually abandoned most of the diplomatic niceties regarding its boundaries with Mexico by that time. Abert set out from Bent's Fort to conduct a detailed reconnaissance. He possessed a great eye for detail, providing in his journal graphic descriptions of the birds, plants, southwest region of the united state and animals he encountered as well as clear depictions of the countryside. Moreover, Abert observed in great detail the Kiowas southwest region of the united state and Comanches who often approached his expedition to see if he southwest region of the united state and his men were the much hated "Texans" with whom they were at war. His firsthand account of the Kiowas southwest region of the united state and Comanches contains valuable information not previously available. The 1804 Lewis southwest region of the united state and Clark expedition marked the beginning of Anglo-American exploration of the American West. Abert's account of his four-month journey by mule train is invaluable as one of the concluding records of that period. In his introduction John Miller Morris, author of the award-winning El Llano Estacado: Exploration southwest region of the united state and Imagination on the High Plains of Texas southwest region of the united state and New Mexico, 1536-1860, assesses this neglected work southwest region of the united state and places it with the reports of other adventurers such as Zebulon Pike southwest region of the united state and Stephen Long.
