Schlager Anthology of Westward Expansion

The Schlager Anthology of Westward Expansion offers a modern, original sourcebook covering a pivotal era in U.S. history. From the creators and publishers of Milestone Documents in American History, this new title is built on the principles of inclusivity and accessibility. While presenting the essential primary sources from the period, covering the seeds of the manifest destiny ideology to the nation’s imperial ambitions, this anthology also emphasizes often-marginalized voices, including women, Native Americans, African Americans, Mexican Americans, and Asian Americans. In addition, document texts are abridged to remain brief and accessible, even to struggling readers (including ESL students), while activity questions range in difficulty from basic to more advanced. Edited by Jennifer Koshatka Seman (Metropolitan State University of Denver) and featuring the contributions of numerous scholars, The Schlager Anthology of Westward Expansion covers 78 milestone sources from this period of American history.
