Book Review

Making San Francisco American: Cultural Frontiers in the Urban West, 1846–1906. By Barbara Berglund. (Lawrence: University Press of Kansas, 2007. xviii, 294 pp. $34.95, ISBN 978-0-7006-1530-8.)

Barbara Berglund sets out to make the case that this major western city mirrored America's nation-making trends through its own efforts to overcome cultural disorder. Key variables in that effort included race, class, and gender, as well as the desire both to harness the energies of an exceptionally ethnically diverse population and to control the disproportionate number of young males.
