This particular volume covers the US' westward expansion during the period from 1803-1879. As to be expected its pretty light on the conflict between the US/European explorers and settlers and the Natives who were already in the area. That said, its a nice overview of the overall period, and certainly has given me the first over-all and comprehensive view of the various expeditions (both formal and informal) and how "western" knowledge of the continent grew over-time. A good read, and a good launch point to go looking for more information.
