The goal is for students to gain knowledge about what life was like during the 1800s in the United States. It is likely the reality is rather different from what they may have seen on television and in video games.

Because this class examines Western History through art and photography, the sources used in this class are the paintings and photographs themselves. Artists will be figures such as George Catlin, Charles Russell, and Albert Bierstadt. The photographs come mainly from government survey expeditions that took place during the 1870s. The paintings and photographs are primary sources. The descriptions of life in the American West come from such noted western historians as Elliott West, Dan Flores, Patricia Limerick Nelson, Walter Prescott Webb, Donald Worster, and numerous others.
