Between 1800 and 1920, an extraordinary cast of bold innovators and entrepreneurs--individuals such as Cyrus McCormick, Brigham Young, Henry Wells and James Fargo, Fred Harvey, Levi Strauss, Adolph Coors, J. P. Morgan, and Buffalo Bill Cody--helped lay the groundwork for what we now call the American West. They were people of imagination and courage, adept at maneuvering the rapids of change, alert to opportunity, persistent in their missions.

They had big ideas they were not afraid to test. They stitched the country together with the first transcontinental railroad, invented the Model A and built the roads it traveled on, raised cities and supplied them with water and electricity, established banks for immigrant populations, entertained the world with film and showmanship, and created a new form of western hospitality for early travelers. Not all were ideal role models. Most, however, once they had made their fortunes, shared them in the form of cultural institutions, charities, libraries, parks, and other amenities that continue to enrich lives in the West today.

Out Where the West Begins profiles some fifty of these individuals, tracing the arcs of their lives, exploring their backgrounds and motivations, identifying their contributions, and analyzing the strategies they developed to succeed in their chosen fields.

Large clutch purse!
I was surprised at how large this clutch purse is. It is roomy. It seems sturdy. If you want a hand size clutch this isn't it, but if you like closer to a small purse this is more the size. I will be using it for a family gathering and can't wait to use it with my coordinated sunglasses and outfit! Definitely a good price!

Silver chain isn’t great but love the clutch!
Color: Khaki
I needed a simple clutch to match silver jewelry, I’m really happy with this one. Doesn’t fit much but has two magnetic clasps to keep your things safe. The silver chain was too industrial almost looked like metal fencing - I trashed it, but the silver handle is beautiful as a clutch.

Must have!
This bag is stunning. High quality. It also has a beautiful gold chain. Totally dressed up my outfit for a evening in Nashville. So many compliments.

Very pretty
This clutch is very pretty. Definitely a "going out" to an event clutch/bag. The silver handle and chain are beautiful. My only struggle is the size. You cannot fit a lot of stuff in here. But, this would be a "special event" bag, so, you really aren't going to walk around with your every day necessities in this bag. You can fit a cell phone, lipstick, a super slim credit card holder, that hold a credit card/s and bank card/s. If you try to put more things in here, it will not close. I do still recommend 100%. It's a really, really pretty bag.

I returned it
Cute purse, but the material used was cheap-looking. The storage and size were great, but the material .... not so good.
