The Undiscovered Country by Paul Andrew Hutton is a sweeping exploration of the real story behind the mythology of the American West. Tracing events from General Edward Braddock’s 1755 defeat to the tragedy of the Wounded Knee Massacre, Hutton examines how American ambition, expansion, and conflict shaped the nation. Through the lives of seven iconic figures, including Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Sitting Bull, and William F. Cody, Hutton reveals a complex frontier story of heroic dreams, cultural collision, environmental change, and tragic consequences.
Hutton is a Tate Endowed Chair of Western History and Curator of the Buffalo Bill Museum in the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. He is the author of the acclaimed The Apache Wars and Phil Sheridan and His Army, and has served as executive director of the Western History Association and president of the Western Writers of America. The Undiscovered Country is a New York Times bestseller and winner of the Western Heritage Award for Outstanding Nonfiction Book.
