Ever since the first colonists arrived in America, people had dreamed of setting up homes on the ever-expanding frontier. After winning their independence, Americans hoped to enlarge their new country. Some even came to believe that westward expansion, from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast, was their destiny. Examining the diplomatic deals and wars through which Americans won new lands, Worth shows how Americans carried out their Manifest Destiny and created the American West.
