She currently serves as the vice president for the teaching division of the American Historical Association. Her most widely read book,The Legacy of Conquest, is in its twenty-fifth year of publication.\n\nJason L. Hanson is a member of the research faculty at the Center of the American West at the University of Colorado at Boulder, where his work focuses on natural resource use and the environment. He lives in Denver.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1555913660\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1555913660.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Limerick, Patricia Nelson|Hanson, Jason L.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
