Etulain gathers essays by contemporary historians on ten of these early writers to survey of the evolution of a scholarly field.
"available introduction to the history - and the uses - of western history." - Ralph Mann, Western Historical Quarterly "This is a key work for understanding the scholars who shaped the historiography of the West over the last 100 years. Superbly edited by Richard W. Etulain, it is simply the best volume of essays ever published on the subject." - Gerald Thompson, Journal of Arizona History "Writing Western History is an outstanding contribution to the historiographical literature of the American West. It should be in every library and read by anyone interested in western history." - John R. Wunder, Montana: The Magazine of Western History
