Westward Expansion (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781433947810)

There were many reasons for Americans to move west in the 1800s. The gold rush, religious movements, new farmland, and even a transcontinental railroad brought people from across the country to settle. This valuable resource highlights the major causes and effects of America's push westward--from the Erie Canal to the rise of cowboys. With the help of detailed photographs, readers discover the events that expanded America from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.
