Hillsdale College Hosts Lecture Series: ‘The American West’

Download Media Advisory

The history of the Old West, dating roughly from the beginning of the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804 to the Wounded Knee massacre in 1890, was but the length of one long lifetime. The debate over how to understand America’s western expansion has already eclipsed it in time. This third CCA of the 2016-2017 academic year will consider both the history and the debate. All lectures are open to the public.

Media should RSVP by contacting Emily Davis at [email protected].
