This project has received support from the University of South Dakota Honors Program, Department of History, InTEC (The Center for Interactive Technologies in Education and Corporations in the School of Education), and the library of the School of Law at the University of South Dakota. InTEC's director, Michael Hoadley, and staff provided production assistance for this project. The instructor of Honors Western Civilization, Clayton Miles Lehmann, assembled this site. Send comments about it to him at clehmann@usd.edu. He described the project in an article published in Perspectives in 1997; you can read this article on-line. He also presented it at the end of its second year at the Syllabus '97 Conference; you can read this article as well as a report on the conference.

The House the West Built is a project by students fulfilling course requirements. It began in the spring semester, 1996. The instructor conceived it as an experimental approach to undergraduate research and the presentation of the results of that research. Some of the objects incorporated in these pages came from copyrighted sources, which we acknowledge and to which we supply links where appropriate. Any owner of these objects who objects to our use of them in this format should notify Clayton Miles Lehmann, who will immediately remove them from the project. Visitors to this site are welcome freely to establish links to it.
