Beyond the Manifest Imaginary: Currier & Ives, the Romance of Empire, and the Real History of the American West

Professor Peter L. Bayers, Director of American Studies, Fairfield University

This interactive talk will address how the Currier & Ives lithographs romanticized U.S. expansion west in order to justify Westward expansion, in turn obfuscating the complex, destructive, violent, and genocidal history of the American West.
