This is a view of the history of the American West at the end of the 20th century. It is the first systematic attempt to assess the current state of Western History. It covers the major new areas of emphasis. The individual essays (developed for a conference in 1993 at Utah State University) are written by the most promising scholars of the younger generation of Western historians.
