Witnesses to a Vanishing America: The Nineteenth-Century Response
BRB-10897
by Lee Clark Mitchell
The author maintains that 19th century Americans viewed the westward
movement with mixed feelings. The dominant opinion represented faith
in the westward march of a benevolent American civilization.

increased as the century progressed, and Americans began to feel
negative aspects of American civilization extending. The book is
documented by the letters, writings, diaries by artists and explorers.
