In 1950, the open space lands from Hayward to Pleasanton in California were privately owned and sprawl development was booming. By 2020, the frontier was closed, and almost all the shorelands and ridgelands in this large area were protected as public open space and by regulation. The land was saved by many advocates and these are their stories, many narratives sometimes parallel to each other, other times connecting, involving elections, referendums, litigation, bond measures, lobbying, organizing, and campaigns. Each story is simple enough, but taken together they add up to a long and complex history. --- "Preserving the Ridgelands, the story of the decades long battle to protect open space, and the unique solution that led to the ultimate creation of a new EBRPD park." -Tom Pico, former Mayor, City of Pleasanton --- "Ridgelands! is the real thing. Like the local government processes it describes in excruciating detail, it is both engrossing and tedious at the same time. (Very considerately, the author advises when some details can be skipped.) Reading it tends to put one – at least it put me – in an altered state of consciousness. I participated in some of the episodes recounted in the book, and had a pretty good sense at the time of the overall project. I knew Sherman had absolute conviction in his cause, and observed his unfailingly civil tenacity – some might call it stubbornness – but reading about the full duration and scope of the effort in Ridgelands! still blew my mind. Unlike anything else I have ever read, Ridgelands! does not just tell us, but shows us (again, in detail), how successful long-term activism works. Without the tenacity and long-term commitment that this book describes activism is just political Brownian motion. This book should be required reading in every college-level political science curriculum." -Zach Cowan, Berkeley City Attorney, retired. --- “Sherman Lewis’ Ridgelands makes it clear what it takes to save important biologically-rich landscapes for people, plants and animals of today and of the future.” Janet Cobb, California Wildlife Foundation/California Oaks. --- “My takeaway from your book is that we had a small window of time and opportunity where the right people combined with ample passion, willing constituents, and some money created a legacy that will endure forever.” -Jocelyn Combs, Former Director, East Bay Regional Park District --- "Sherman Lewis has created the first comprehensive book documenting the process of natural lands preservation by local community activists, environmental organizations, and the East Bay Regional Park District from 1960 to 2020. There’s a lot for California historians, open space preservation advocates, and community organizers to discover in this 60-year chronicle of the conflicts and resolutions that led to permanent protection of native habitat from the eastern shoreline of San Francisco Bay to the western hills of the inland Tri-Valley. Learn how local residents and East Bay voters successfully protected these natural resources, overcoming intense pressure from developers who sought building approvals from local governments. Sherman Lewis bears witness to it all. Includes beautiful photographs, documents, maps, and personal interviews. Inspiring!" -Becky Dennis, Former City Councilmember, City of Pleasanton

2014 Reprint of 1894 Edition. Full facsimile of the original edition. The "Frontier Thesis" or "Turner Thesis," is the argument advanced by historian Frederick Jackson Turner in 1894 that American democracy was formed by the American Frontier. He stressed the process-the moving frontier line-and the impact it had on pioneers going through the process. He also stressed consequences of a ostensibly limitless frontier and that American democracy and egalitarianism were the principle results. In Turner's thesis the American frontier established liberty by releasing Americans from European mindsets and eroding old, dysfunctional customs. The frontier had no need for standing armies, established churches, aristocrats or nobles, nor for landed gentry who controlled most of the land and charged heavy rents. Frontier land was free for the taking. Turner first announced his thesis in a paper entitled "The Significance of the Frontier in American History," delivered to the American Historical Association in 1893 in Chicago. He won very wide acclaim among historians and intellectuals. Turner's emphasis on the importance of the frontier in shaping American character influenced the interpretation found in thousands of scholarly histories. By the time Turner died in 1932, 60% of the leading history departments in the U.S. were teaching courses in frontier history along Turnerian lines.

"Limerick is one of the most engaging historians writing today." --Richard White The "settling" of the American West has been perceived throughout the world as a series of quaint, violent, and romantic adventures. But in fact, Patricia Nelson Limerick argues, the West has a history grounded primarily in economic reality; in hardheaded questions of profit, loss, competition, and consolidation. Here she interprets the stories and the characters in a new way: the trappers, traders, Indians, farmers, oilmen, cowboys, and sheriffs of the Old West "meant business" in more ways than one, and their descendents mean business today.

When The Urban Frontier was first published it roused attention because it held that settlers made a concerted effort to bring established institutions and ways to their new country. This differed markedly from the then-dominant Turnerian hypothesis that a culture's identity and behavior was determined by its history and experience in a particular social and physical environment. The Urban Frontier is still considered one of the most important books in urban history. This printing of the now-classic Wade volume features a new introduction by Zane L. Miller.

WINNER OF THE PULITZER PRIZE A new and eye-opening interpretation of the meaning of the frontier, from early westward expansion to Trump’s border wall. Ever since this nation’s inception, the idea of an open and ever-expanding frontier has been central to American identity. Symbolizing a future of endless promise, it was the foundation of the United States’ belief in itself as an exceptional nation – democratic, individualistic, forward-looking. Today, though, America hasa new symbol: the border wall. In The End of the Myth, acclaimed historian Greg Grandin explores the meaning of the frontier throughout the full sweep of U.S. history – from the American Revolution to the War of 1898, the New Deal to the election of 2016. For centuries, he shows, America’s constant expansion – fighting wars and opening markets – served as a “gate of escape,” helping to deflect domestic political and economic conflicts outward. But this deflection meant that the country’s problems, from racism to inequality, were never confronted directly. And now, the combined catastrophe of the 2008 financial meltdown and our unwinnable wars in the Middle East have slammed this gate shut, bringing political passions that had long been directed elsewhere back home. It is this new reality, Grandin says, that explains the rise of reactionary populism and racist nationalism, the extreme anger and polarization that catapulted Trump to the presidency. The border wall may or may not be built, but it will survive as a rallying point, an allegorical tombstone marking the end of American exceptionalism.
