"The Making of the West is an excellent textbook and the best full-size textbook on the market. Of the many texts I have used for this course, my students overwhelmingly prefer this one. They say that it is readable and broken into parts that are digestible and comprehensible, yet still substantial in their treatment. In addition, the writing is very good and the maps and other materials that accompany the book are superb."— Daniel Sarefield, Ohio State University"This textbook is an excellent resource for my students and makes my task of teaching a somewhat difficult subject more engaging. All of the secondary, primary and online resources are well thought-out and right on target." — Nancy E. Shockley, New Mexico State University "The Making of the West is the smartest and most comprehensive textbook I have seen. It is well written and does an excellent job of presenting the complexities of the past while taking current scholarship into account. I am most impressed with the way the authors make the key connections among politics, economics, culture, etc., and I am also very impressed with the book’s attentiveness to gender and the inclusion of women as agents of history."— Rebecca Friedman, Florida International University"I think I have examined every textbook out there, and The Making of the West is the best book I have found; it offers a solid, engaging narrative of history."— Michelle Novak, Houston Community College"The chronological organization of this text is one of its most appealing features. Students of western civilization courses are learning how to account for change over time; presenting the major events of western history in chronological order is the most direct means for teaching them to do so."— Lynn Mollenauer, University of North Carolina — Wilmington
