Features
Diverse and thoughtfully chosen documents complement the thematic and chronological framework of the textbook, The Making of the West, while giving students practice in evaluating a wide range of primary sources, including visual sources in every chapter.
An Introduction for Students leads students step-by-step through the process of historical analysis using a documentary and a visual source from the reader, helping students move from abstract concepts to concrete examples.
Section introductions and document headnotes highlight the historical significance of and situate sources within their wider historical context while also addressing their relationship to one another and to the main themes in the corresponding chapter of The Making of the West.
Individual questions for discussion and end of chapter comparative questions guide students through evaluating the sources, engaging with scholarly arguments, and connecting the sources to the larger themes of the chapter and the course.
Primary source quizzes accompany every document in the LaunchPad for The Making of the West.
New to This Edition
New sources focus on themes that carry across historical time periods – from historical responses to inequality and migration through conceptions of geography and community to the memory and memorialization of the past – and help students connect their experiences to the ideas and debates of history.
New “Sources in Conversation” document pairs encourage students to see how sources can both inform and challenge each other while providing students with deeper opportunities to engage in historical analysis.
Visual sources now included in every chapter broaden students’ understanding of what constitutes the historical record and highlight the range of material available through which to understand the past.
“Accessible, certainly affordable, and pitched just right for first-year students. The documents have suitable breadth and scholarly apparatus (much better than free online sources). The edition is also carefully edited.”
— Paul Teverow, Missouri Southern State University“Concise, great questions, [and] variety of readings. Its exactly what a good history instructor would want. I love this text, and feel it does an outstanding job of allowing students to learn history from those who were there at the time.”
— Sarah Sullivan, McHenry County College
