"The scope of Moehring's inquiry is vast, incorporating such themes as the roles of railroads, local and regional capital investment and boosterism in the creation of municipal centers, interactions with Indians: the relationship between water and town development; the importance of agricultural centers in reinforcing trade; the role of urban competition; and the part that cultural and racial superiority assumptions played in creating the American urban framework."--Jacket.
