Author Peter Seibert spent years of his life fostering the history and culture of Western landmarks and in this collection of historical vignettes, he explores fascinating people and moments that crafted a Western consciousness. Legendary craftswomen Maria Martinez, Nampeyo, and Elle of Ganado forever changed Native American artistry. Merchant George Henderson’s account book for his 1904 ranch house provides a rare glimpse into the origins of an iconic American home design, as Seibert overviews home styles from the adobe to pueblo revival. Whether you like red, green, or Christmas chiles on your cheeseburger, all options are appropriate to accompany an endless variety of Western movies from Blazing Saddles to The Hateful Eight. The West is where land and prosperity have lurked behind every cactus and it continues to represent the undiscovered country of the future. Peter Seibert reveals a place always on the horizon but never quite attainable.

Drafted by Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence summarizes America's founding political philosophy. At once a cherished symbol of liberty and an expression of Jefferson's monumental talents as a writer, the document captures in unforgettable phrases the ideals of individual liberty that formed the backbone of American's Revolutionary movement. In setting forth these self-evident truths alongside a list of grievances against King George's Britain, the Declaration of Independence justified the breaking of ties with Mother England and the formation of a new country.Â
