2) Blood and thunder: An Epic of the American West

"While in the short term--militarily--the North won the Civil War, in the long term--ideologically--victory went to the South.

10) The remarkable, rough-riding life of Theodore Roosevelt and the rise of empire America

The frontier has always been a quintessential part of what makes America unique, and according to renowned historian Frederick Jackson Turner, it did more than stoke the imaginations of early pioneers—it actually helped to shape American democracy and institutions. This engaging volume explains and expands on Turner's Frontier Thesis, one of the most significant concepts in the study of American history.
