Kelly Library of St. Gregory's University, Alev Akman, and David Widger "The Passing of the Frontier: A Chronicle of the Old West" by Emerson Hough is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work explores the essence and significance of the American frontier, highlighting its role in shaping American identity and culture. Through various lenses—including the lives of frontiersmen, the impact of westward expansion, and the rugged landscapes that defined the era—Hough paints a vivid picture of the Old West. At the start of the book, Hough reflects on the deeply ingrained meaning of the frontier in American history, tying it to themes of adventure, individualism, and self-reliance. He delves into the evolution of the frontier, likening its allure to that of folklore, while framing it as a space characterized by both opportunity and hardship. The opening portions also outline the connections to early exploration, referencing figures like Lewis and Clark, and set the stage for discussing the subsequent waves of settlers and pioneers, drawing attention to the transformation of the land and the people—especially the cattle ranchers and miners—who shaped this critical period in American history.
