Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. New York Times BestsellerA Wall Street Journal Top Ten Book of the YearA True West Magazine Best Historical Non-Fiction Book and Best Author of the YearWestern Heritage Award for "Outstanding Nonfiction Book"Winner of the Western Writers of America Spur Award for Historical NonfictionWinner of the Will Rogers Medallion AwardFrom the author of The Apache Wars, the true story of the American West, revealing how American ambition clashed with the realities of violence and exploitationThe epic of the American West became a tale of progress, redemption, and glorious conquest that came to shape the identity of a new nation. Over time a darker story emerged-one of ghastly violence and environmental spoliation that stained this identity.The Undiscovered Country strips away the layers of myth to reveal the true story of this first epoch of American history. From the forests of Pennsylvania and Kentucky to the snow-crested California Sierras, and from the harsh deserts of the Southwest to the buffalo range of the Great Plains, Paul Andrew Hutton masterfully chronicles a story that defined America and its people. From Braddock's 1755 defeat to the 1890 Wounded Knee massacre, he unfolds a grand narrative steeped in romantic impulses and tragic consequences.Hutton uses seven main protagonists-Daniel Boone, Red Eagle, Davy Crockett, Mangas Coloradas, Kit Carson, Sitting Bull, and William "Buffalo Bill" Cody-as the biographical threads by which to weave a tapestry across seven generations, revealing a story of heroic conquest and dark tragedy, of sacrifice and greed, and of man-made wonders and environmental ruin.The American frontier movement has proven eternally fascinating around the world-the subject of countless books, paintings, poems, television shows, and films. The Undiscovered Country reveals the truth behind America's great creation myth. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
