The book presents a unique analysis of early westerns and travel imagery, examining how these works reflect settler colonialism and the narrative of white settlers' westward expansion. It delves into the cultural transformations that accompanied this movement, highlighting the portrayal of "American Progress" and its implications for understanding American identity and history. Through this lens, the text uncovers the deeper meanings embedded in these visual and literary representations.
