The Undiscovered Country: Triumph, Tragedy, and the Shaping of the American West by Paul Andrew Hutton is a historical narrative that explores the American West's expansion from 1755 to 1890, stripping away myths to reveal a complex story of both heroic conquest and tragic consequences. The book uses seven key figures—Daniel Boone, Red Eagle, Davy Crockett, Mangas Coloradas, Kit Carson, Sitting Bull, and Buffalo Bill Cody—as biographical threads to weave a grand narrative of ambition, violence, and environmental change, offering a fresh perspective on the creation of the American identity.
