Into the West (Hardcover, Turtleback School & Library ed.)

A sweeping historical epic of Manifest Destiny and the clash between two cultures, "Into the West tells the story of the expansion of the American West as seen through the eyes of two families--"one white, one Lakota--"over the course of many generations: from the birth of the fur trade to the Texans' last stand at the Alamo, through the Civil War and the massacre at Wounded Knee.
