Synopsis Westward Ho, Carlotta! by : Candace Fleming
When concert halls lose their popularity, opera singer Carlotta Carusa packs up her things and takes her talent out west in this hilarious and exciting picture book from Candace Fleming. What’s an opera singer to do when the appeal of performing in concert halls wears thin? Go west, of course! And sure as shootin’, that’s what Carlotta Carusa does. Out on the prairie, Carlotta finds all the adventure she’s been craving: snarling wolves, disastrous droughts, and that no-good skunk villain Skullneck Sam. But fear not, there’s nothing more satisfying than watching a feisty heroine, armed with a good melody and a heap of confidence, tame the untamable. Westward Ho, Carlotta! is an outrageously silly Wild West adventure sure to make any kid as happy as a tick on a hound dog!

Synopsis Westward Expansion by : Ray Allen Billington
When it appeared in 1949, the first edition of Ray Allen Billington's 'Westward Expansion' set a new standard for scholarship in western American history, and the book's reputation among historians, scholars, and students grew through four subsequent editions. This abridgment and revision of Billington and Martin Ridge's fifth edition, with a new introduction and additional scholarship by Ridge, as well as an updated bibliography, focuses on the Trans-Mississippi frontier. Although the text sets out the remarkable story of the American frontier, which became, almost from the beginning, an archetypal narrative of the new American nation's successful expansion, the authors do not forget the social, environmental, and human cost of national expansion.

Synopsis Manifest Destinies by : Steven E. Woodworth
A sweeping history of the 1840s, Manifest Destinies captures the enormous sense of possibility that inspired America’s growth and shows how the acquisition of western territories forced the nation to come to grips with the deep fault line that would bring war in the near future. Steven E. Woodworth gives us a portrait of America at its most vibrant and expansive. It was a decade in which the nation significantly enlarged its boundaries, taking Texas, New Mexico, California, and the Pacific Northwest; William Henry Harrison ran the first modern populist campaign, focusing on entertaining voters rather than on discussing issues; prospectors headed west to search for gold; Joseph Smith founded a new religion; railroads and telegraph lines connected the country’s disparate populations as never before. When the 1840s dawned, Americans were feeling optimistic about the future: the population was growing, economic conditions were improving, and peace had reigned for nearly thirty years. A hopeful nation looked to the West, where vast areas of unsettled land seemed to promise prosperity to anyone resourceful enough to take advantage. And yet political tensions roiled below the surface; as the country took on new lands, slavery emerged as an irreconcilable source of disagreement between North and South, and secession reared its head for the first time. Rich in detail and full of dramatic events and fascinating characters, Manifest Destinies is an absorbing and highly entertaining account of a crucial decade that forged a young nation’s character and destiny.
