Here is a colourful alternative to the view that America's immigrants were uprooted, defenceless pawns adrift in a sea of confusion and despair. Taking the members of one nationality as a prototype, Westward the Immigrants (originally published as The Immigrants Upraised) traces the social, political, and economic progress of Italian immigrants after they deserted New York's crowded Mulberry Street for more rewarding pursuits in the twenty-two states west of the Mississippi.

Expansion was the fever of the early nineteenth century, and women burned with it as surely as men, although in a different way. Subscribing to the "cult of true womanhood," which valued domesticity, piety, and similar "feminine" virtues, women championed expansion for the cause of civilization, even while largely avoiding the masculine world of politics. Adrienne Caughfield mines the diaries and letters of some ninety Texas women to uncover the ideas and enthusiasms they brought to the Western frontier. Although there were a few notable exceptions, most of them drew on their domestic skills and values to establish not only "civilization," but their own security. Caughfield sheds light on women's activism (the flip side of domesticity), attitudes toward race and "civilization," the tie between a vision of a unified continent and a cultivated wilderness, and republican values. She offers a new understanding of not only gender roles in the West but also the impulse for expansionism itself. In Texas, Caughfield demonstrates, "women never stopped arriving with more fuel for the flames [of expansionism] as their families tried to find a place to settle down, some place with a little more room, where national destiny and personal dreams merged into a glorious whole." In doing so, Texas women expanded not only American borders, but their own as well.

The presidential election of 1844 was one of the two or three most momentous elections in American history. Had Henry Clay won instead of James K. Polk, we'd be living in a very different country today. It cemented the westward expansion that brought Texas, California, and Oregon into the union. It also took place amid religious turmoil that included anti-Mormon and anti-Catholic violence, and the "Great Disappointment" in which thousands of followers of an obscure preacher named William Miller believed Christ would return to earth in October 1844. Author and journalist John Bicknell details even more compelling, interwoven events that occurred during this momentous year-the murder of Joseph Smith, the religious fermentation of the Second Great Awakening, John C. Frémont's exploration of the West, Charles Goodyear's patenting of vulcanized rubber, the near-death of President John Tyler in a freak naval explosion, and much more. All of these elements illustrate the competing visions of the American future-Democrats v. Whigs, Mormons v. Millerites, nativists v. Catholics, those who risked the venture westward and those who stayed safely behind-and how Polk's victory cemented the vision of a continental nation. John Bicknell has written and edited for FCW, Congressional Quarterly, Roll Call, and was coeditor of the 2012 edition of Politics in America, CQ's 1200-page guide to the US Congress. He lives in Haymarket, Virginia.

Imagine a future in which mankind’s greatest goal is to explore the unknown depths of creation. An age when science and entertainment merge within the individual, seeking an understanding of the soul. A nation which directs its capital and resources towards a radical form of learning, using technology to penetrate the internal mind. April 24, 2041. The date in which “mind travel” is introduced to the masses. Enter the mind of Zack Godfrey, a fifteen year old eccentric who holds within his character, lifetimes of repressed wisdom. As man made innovation invades these irrational feelings, the masses begin to experience his thoughts from their own living rooms. They are opened to memories of a crude but natural existence, as he relives the day that brought him towards enlightenment. His character reaches into collective consciousness, realizing a deep understanding of past life and higher self, empowering him to perceive ancient patterns of history, advanced scientific virtue, and rigid doctrine of worship. Ultimately, fragments of a universal language, “flow”, are spread through human awareness. These dominant insights will grant passage to the Fronter, an evolved life form, but at a substantial price to human life.
