The following is from the author's Introduction: The passages gathered in this volume provide a reflection of the attitudes, ideas, or circumstances of the times which produced them. This book contains most of the classic texts to which teachers like to refer. It also contains passages which, in every section, lend themselves to discussion, argument, and various interpretations. In addition they are deliberately interspersed with illustrative material, which throws an intimate light on the life and problems of a given time and place without necessarily lending itself to discussion. Thus, in assignment, the teacher can pick and choose among passages that are illustrative or controversial. The documents in this book are evidence in the case of a Western Tradition and how it developed. The best history brings men and women to life. But in real life, these things happen and we live history in the making. The story outlined in these pages reflects the gradual progress of Western fold to greater self-consciousness and self-control, their repeated attempts to master not only themselves but the world around them. The discovery that evil is part of the world order, that we could not, apparently, by the mere use of our reason and will, build the good life uncorrupted, came as a shock to many, as the twentieth century advanced, human reason seemed unable to prevent wars, revolutions, while improved techniques served to make such conflicts vaster and bloodier than ever. Nor was the new order that followed upon them at least in the eyes of many, an improvement on the old. Few of course appreciate that they live in interesting times, for interesting times have a way of being uncomfortable times. Most people in all ages have lived lives that were insecure, troubled often scary. Many documents here bear evidence of that. Putting our own discomforts in historical perspective brings little consolation. But it may provide enlightenment, and that would be some help.

This collection of edited readings (primary and secondary) is organized chronologically into chapters that each present a "great issue": that is, a question or problem in Western civilization that is of ongoing interest to students and historians. The chapters present a variety of primary source materials - letters, chronicles, poems, government records, treatises - together with interpretations by modern historians representing a variety of points of view. This approach is designed to help students learn to evaluate historical materials critically and form their own opinions on issues. This edition includes a new chapter on the African origins of Western civilization.

[Read by William Dufris]A collection of six Western stories by Louis L'Amour. No one tells tales of the frontier better than Louis L'Amour, who portrays the human side of westward expansion the good and the bad before the days of law and order. Collected here are six stories penned by America's favorite Western author.*Trap of Gold : Wetherton has been three months out of town when he finds his first color in a crumbling upthrust granite wall with a vein of quartz that is literally laced with gold. The problem is that the rocks are unstable, and taking out the quartz might bring the whole thing tumbling down.*Keep Travellin', Rider : Tack Gentry has been away for a year when he returns to the familiar buildings of his uncle John Gentry's G Bar ranch. Now the ranch has a new owner, who tells Tack to make tracks. But Tack has other plans.*Dutchman's Flat : A sixman posse heads into the desert after a squatter named Lock who shot a man in the back. Once they catch him, there won't be any trial. But Lock knows the desert better than they do and can pick them off one by one.*Big Medicine : Old Billy Dunbar has discovered the best goldbearing gravel that he's found in a year, but now he is lying face down in a ravine, hiding from Apaches. He is going to need a good strategy to get out of this one alive.*Trail to Pie Town : Dusty Barron shot a man, who had relatives in the area, and now it looks like he is going to be facing a clan war.*McQueen of the Tumbling K : Ward McQueen, foreman for the Tumbling K Ranch, rides into town and is shot down by gunmen and left for dead. But they made a critical mistake because McQueen is not dead and he is looking to get even.

In this first of this trio of Western stories by Louis L’Amour — “Black Rock” — Jim Gatlin, a Texas trail driver, arrives in the town of Tucker where he finds himself quickly drawn into the middle of an all-out battle for the XY Ranch when, due to a case of mistaken identity, he kills the segundo of Wing Cary’s Flying C Ranch. Gatlin is a dead-ringer for Jim Walker, who, like Cary, wants control of the XY. Gatlin is thrown into a situation in which all he can do is fight for his life.

On December 23, 1852, the first train on the first railroad west of the Mississippi River steamed proudly from St. Louis to Cheltenham—the immense distance of five miles. In that moment of exaltation, writes Robert Edgar Riegel, "flags waved, bands played, and orators prophesied the flowering of the West under the beneficent influence of the steam locomotive. For once the orators were right. An epoch was marked. Twenty-five years earlier the musical whistle of the locomotive was as yet unheard in the United States. Twenty-five years later steel tracks spanned the continent from New York to San Francisco."In this account of the railroad conquest of the United States, the author is primarily concerned with the western phase of the story. He follows the Iron Horse west through Indian trouble, labor difficulties, civil war, and farmer disillusionment to the completion of the western railroad net. All aspects of the subject—financial, industrial, engineering, as well as the development of railroad regulation—are covered in this classic work.

As well as fulfilling a functional need, furniture has always been an index of status. From the throne of Tutankhamen or the bed of State of Louis XIV to the austere Shaker chest or the Charles Eames chair and later modern pieces from Europe, the Far East and the United States, the style of each piece tells much about the outlook of the makers and the needs and skills of the time.This absorbing history traces the development of furniture design and production, from the days of ancient Egypt to the present, describing what articles were made in each period, how they were made, and what were the social and economic conditions that affected style and finish. The author discusses techniques such as joinery, turning, veneering, marquetry, polishing, upholstery, bentwood work and lamination. Many examples are shown in the illustrations, which are invaluable recognition sources and a lively visual accompaniment to the text.
