Title A name given to the resource First American West, 1750-1820 Description An account of the resource Drawing from many historical collections at the Filson Historical Society, First American West incorporates maps, diaries, letters, ledgers, and objects.

Naturalists and other scientists describe Western bird life and bones of prehistoric animals.
