Texts for HIST 431/631

There are other readings required for the course--web-based asssignments, independent readings--but the course has three required, core texts.
  • Webb, Walter Prescott. The Great Plains. Boston: Ginn & Co., 1931. Any reprint edition will do, as they are all facsimiles.

  • Sharp, Paul F. Whoop-Up Country: The Canadian-American West, 1865-1885. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1955. The book is out of print, and so I'm making available a CD with the complete text, free of charge.

  • Isern, Tom. Dakota Circle: Excursions on the True Plains. Fargo: Institute for Regional Studies, 2000.
