D.W. Meinig is Maxwell Research Professor of Geography at Syracuse University.
"A monumental achievement. Meinig's book is a distinctive, highly
personal, and brilliant interpretation of continental
expansion."—Carville Earle, Louisiana State University
"A rich, dazzling, indispensable reinterpretation of an expanding
America, with a panoramic view that embraces all of its regions and
all of its peoples."—David Weber, author of The Spanish Frontier in
North America
"Meinig has done it again. He manages to traverse terrain familiar
to others and see it entirely freshly. Perhaps it's because he
refuses to be trapped by the conventional ideas of any of the four
or five academic disciplines which he has mastered in order to do
his work. He has a mind impatient with the unconsidered, a style at
once beguiling and convincing, and a seriousness of intention
expressed cheerfully. This is a very good book."—Roger G. Kennedy,
director of the National Museum of American History
