A study of the migration patterns that characterized the colony and (later) state of Virginia over the three century history following its European founding. Dividing the topic into three patterns--migration to, within, and from Virginia--Fischer (history, Brandeis U) and Kelly (Virginia Historical Society) study the reasons behind the migrations of various populations, paying special attention to African Americans, and explore the cultural legacy of the migrations.

When it appeared in 1949, the first edition of Ray Allen Billington's 'Westward Expansion' set a new standard for scholarship in western American history, and the book's reputation among historians, scholars, and students grew through four subsequent editions. This abridgment and revision of Billington and Martin Ridge's fifth edition, with a new introduction and additional scholarship by Ridge, as well as an updated bibliography, focuses on the Trans-Mississippi frontier. Although the text sets out the remarkable story of the American frontier, which became, almost from the beginning, an archetypal narrative of the new American nation's successful expansion, the authors do not forget the social, environmental, and human cost of national expansion.

Invites "manufacturers and capitalists who are exploring the west for opportunities of profitable investment" to consider the advantages offered by Missouri's geography, climate, location, and mineral resources. In particular, the author calls attention to the "manufacturing greatness" of St. Louis, "the commercial capital of Missouri and the central metropolis of the Mississippi valley," with its various businesses and countless cultural attractions making it an ideal candidate to host the upcoming World's Fair of 1892.
