Abstract

[Extract] The Great Land Rush is a wide-ranging book that demonstrates the advantages of a transnational approach to history. The integration of the history of the early United States with later events in the Australasian colonies, the Cape Colony and Canada works very well, and the patterns that John C. Weaver identifies in the earlier North American context provide a useful theoretical framework for examination of later frontier and settler societies.
