1882 Our Western Empire America INDIANS California Gold Mining Atlas MAPS Texas

'Our Western Empire' is a late 19th-century treatise on the development and expansion of the American West. Written by L.P. Brockett, this work is one of the most thorough descriptions of western migration – notes on plains and mountain animals, population trends, mining, farming, and extensive discussion on Native American Indians! One interesting part of this book, that differs from similar tomes, is the inclusion of information on specific states including a large chapter on California and Indian territories.
