Great history of a great city
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I was once a student of Roger Lotchin's; I took his classes on the history of the American West and the history of American Urbanization, and in one of those classes we read this book. It was good and I'm not saying that to get a good grade (this was several years ago). In truth, I just thought it was amazing how the town sprang up and in so short a time really did become a major city with a culture all its own. Thank you, Dr. Lotchin for teaching us to question things (because you didn't hesitate to question us ;-) )
