Heading West, Touring West
This site is based on two New York Public Library exhibitions. The first "traces the evolution from an imagined to a defined and mapped American West. Through impressions of the West in maps from 1540 to 1900, the website presents an overview of the mapping process, which continues today." The second "celebrates the [19th century] creators, promoters, and performers of professional theater, music, and dance who toured the American continent."
