General Interest The Fatal Environment: The Myth of the Frontier in the Age of Industrialization, 1800-1890 Product Details: Category: Books ISBN: 0060976268 Title: The Fatal Environment: The Myth of the Frontier in the Age of Industrialization, 1800-1890 The Fast Free Shipping Author: Richard Slotkin Publisher: Harper Perennial Year Published: 1994 Number of Pages: 636 Book Binding: Paperback Prizes: N/A Book Condition: VERYGOOD SKU: CIN0060976268VG Item description In The Fatal Environment, Richard Slotkin demonstrates how the myth of frontier expansion and subjugation of the Indians helped to justify the course of America's rise to wealth and power. Using Custer's Last Stand as a metaphor for what Americans feared might happen if the frontier should be closed and the savage element be permitted to dominate the civilized, Slotkin shows the emergence by 1890 of a myth redefined to help Americans respond to the confusion and strife of industrialization and imperial expansion.
