"The 49th parallel ran directly through my childhood, dividing me in two." (Wolf Willow, 1962) Wallace Stegner's statement is the springboard used by Higham (Davidson College; U. of North Carolina-Charlotte) and Thacker (Canadian studies and English, St. Lawrence U., Canton, New York) to introduce nine essays on the comparative history of the American and Canadian West. Authors discuss the regions' historical and mythic western spaces as viewed through Aboriginal and settlers' lenses, literature, and art. Based on a special issue of The American Review of Canadian Studies, this volume includes questions to ponder, an overview of concepts of Canadian historiography (e.g., frontierism), and a bibliographic essay.
