Emphasizing the centrality of cross-cultural encounters and the \"micro-politics\" of family formation within the broader context of colonial \"macro-politics\" and nation building, these compelling and accessible essays provide a deeply textured understanding of the history of the region. This volume will certainly inspire historians of the Western United States, as well as those of colonialism, empire, and national expansion in other regions, to focus more closely on these intimate realms in their own research.\"--James F.
