内容説明

These essays plot the complex relationship between the political philosophy of Thomas Jefferson and the modern American West. The writers explore the earliest influences on Jefferson's geographical imagination and his ideas about westward expansion; his passion for participatory democracy; the legacy of his enthusiasm for rural life and the scientific exploration of western habitats; his curiosity about and concern for Native Americans as well as his support of land acquisition by white settlers. The questions he posed about the West still hold relevance for westerners today.The diverse contributors include John Logan Allen, Anthony F. C. Wallace, Robert A. Williams, Jr., Robert Gottlieb, Helen M. Ingram, Mary G. Wallace, Peter S. Onuf, Elliott West, Mary Clearman Blew, and Patricia Nelson Limerick. "Among the books on Jefferson and the West, this work stands out in its scope, erudition, and appeal". -- Gary E. Moulton, editor of The Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.
