History

New Women in the Old West
Winifred Gallagher
Americanon
Jess McHugh


A riveting history of the American West told for the first time through the pioneering women who used the challenges of migration and settlement as opportunities to advocate for their rights, and transformed the country in the process.

Surprising and delightfully engrossing, Americanon explores the true history of thirteen of the nation’s most popular books and how they defined our country.

Browse below to find history books of all kinds.
