Our titles are ON HAND and available for immediate shipping. Table of Contents A major period of westward expansion took place in the United States during the first half of the 19th century. Fur trading, the coast-to-coast railroad, the California gold rush, and the removal of Native American tribes both facilitated and encouraged America's "Manifest Destiny" to become a transcontinental nation. The task of protecting the settlers from the tribes that inhabited the Great Plains fell to the US Army, and to do this an extensive network of permanent forts was created. This title examines the design and defensive features of these forts, and considers the role they played in the settlement of the American West.Payment Methods AvailableCheck, Money Order, Visa/MasterCard, Discover, PayPal.Shipping and Handling Cost: $2.92About UsCollector Bookstore the internet's leading retailer of reference books for the collecting community.
