About This Item
New York: Penguin Books, 1994. First Penguin Edition . Trade Paperback. Very Good. 5" x 7 1/2. Norey, Virginia - Map. 320 Pages Indexed. No marks or stamps. Center section of black and white photographs. The sparsely populated American frontier, declared closed by Frederick Jackson Turner a century ago remains open. Today (1994) 132 counties in fifteen Western states, thirteen percent of the nation's contiguous landmass, still have fewer than two people per square mile, the definition of Frontier. The author explored these regions uncovering little known chapters in American history and meeting the modern-day pioneers who live there now, including a mail-order bride, a polygamist mayor, a Navajo actifvist, and an octogenarian homesteading without running water or electricity., Their stories reveal rugged land, independent people, and vital ways of life that endure.
