Andrew Isenberg, Assistant Professor of History at Princeton University, participated via satellite from Philadelphia to discuss the expansion of the American West. He talked about the acquisition of the Western part of the U.S. and expeditions into the West during the early to mid-19th Century, including the Louisiana Purchase, the travels of Lewis and Clark, the Oregon Trail and the California Gold Rush.
