It is a celebrated time in American history, a time when Indian and European cultures collided. How the West Was Lost examines 18th-century Kentucky and how it eventually gave way to 19th-century commercial and industrial development. This is a book about lost possibilities, as it focuses on the common ground between Indians and backcountry settlers never found, the lands never distributed equally and the slaves who never received emancipation. | How the West Was Lost by Stephen Aron, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
