This is the new story of the Old West told by ten historians who dare to reenvision the American West and knock the field of Western history on its ear Some historians call it a revolution The Trails Conference in Santa Fe a 1989 gathering organized by new western historian Patricia Nelson Limerick spawned widespread media coverage and academic debate and provided the impetus for this volume There at the end of the Santa Fe Trail leading scholars came together to discuss debate and evaluate an exciting new view of our past It amounts to a farreaching reexamination of the role of the West in US history and of the field of Western history itselfTrails brings together the best of this new work The contributors provide a range of views that clarify the changes in Western history They consider what the New Western History is what its impact on Western history has been thus far and where it might lead as we move into the 1990s and beyond These historians reject both the tall in the saddle myth and the concept of the frontier and its settlement described by Frederick Jackson Turner in 1893 a single triumphant process that began with the arrival of white settlers and ended a century later when all the land was claimed Instead they see continuity To them the West is a region washed by waves of successive emigrants over a period of 25000 years a place with climate resources and sustained damage of human habitationContributors Brian W Dippie Patricia Nelson Limerick Michael P Malone Walter Nugent Peggy Pascoe William G Robbins Gerald Thompson Elliott West Richard White Donald Worster
