Reveals how Americans used cities and towns to build their Western empire, developing their urban centers with wealth from the hinterlands and supplying the growing population with foodstuffs and other resources from their rural tributaries, while at the same time using their regional connections as outlets for the goods and services of the cities.

Trade Review
"This important book will fill a gap in the literature and, in its comprehensive treatment of the development of urban networks across all areas of the Far Western states, should become a definitive, much quoted work." - Timothy R. Mahoney, author of River Towns of the Great West: The Structure of Provincial Urbanization on the American Midwest, 1820-1870"
