"A significant contribution to the field of Western archaeology and a valuable addition to any historical archaeology or history class focused on multi-variant storytelling, heritage debates, and histories of the American West." --Katrina C. L. Eichner, assistant professor, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, University of Idaho "Highlights the complexities of practicing historical archaeology in the American West in the twenty-first century and addresses aspects of space and place. This volume does a good job of balancing the theoretical with archaeological interpretations. It also does a good job of including historical archaeologies of Native people alongside migrant and European American sites." --William White, assistant professor, Department of Anthropology, University of California, Berkeley
