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. Pomeroy mines extensive published and unpublished sources to show how the post-1900 West charted a path that was influenced by, but separate from, the rest of the country and the world.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'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. 410 0$aLamar series in western history. 606 $aHISTORY / General$2bisacsh 607 $aPacific and Mountain States$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aHISTORY / General. 676 $a978/.033 700 $aPomeroy$b Earl S$g(Earl Spencer),$f1915-2005.$01057441 701 $aEtulain$b Richard W$0870837 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457157603321 996 $aThe American Far West in the twentieth century$92492726 997 $aUNINA
