Founders and frontiersmen; historic places commemorating early nationhood and the westward movement, 1783-1828

Created by the National Park Service, this Web site is an online version of a booklet on historic places commemorating early nationhood and the westward movement from 1783-1828. Find out how during this time, the population nearly quadrupled and the U.S. transformed their wartime alliance of 13 autonomous states into a strong Federal Union of 24 states. In addition, the site discusses the adoption of the Constitution, the emergence of political parties, and the obvious notion that land and adventure lay beyond the horizon in the west.
