This fast-paced biography of Bank of America founder A. P. Giannini affords an intriguing glimpse into the life of one of the world's most creative bankers. In 1904, after a successful career in wholesale produce and real estate in San Francisco's North End, Giannini began building the tiny Bank of Italy into the Bank of America, one of the world's largest financial institutions at the time of his death in 1949. A. P. Giannini's career was central to the development of the early-twentieth-century West. After the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 he was the only banker with funds on hand to finance the rebuilding of the city - because he personally had rescued the contents of his bank vault before the fire reached downtown. When World War I created new markets for California's farmers, shipbuilders, and small manufacturers, Giannini expanded branch banking throughout the state to meet their financial needs. Between the wars he continued to expand throughout the United States and overseas, establishing the West as a financial center independent of eastern financial interests even as the Great Depression threatened his financial empire. Giannini initiated branch banking in the United States and was its chief advocate. To attract the immigrants who were his first depositors, he moved bank officers from splendid isolation upstairs down into the lobby, moved tellers out from behind bars, and expanded banking hours to evenings and the weekend. Always willing to help new industries, he not only financed major motion pictures but also made automobile loans. Throughout his career, Giannini fought and cajoled bank regulators and such industry giants as J. P. Morgan, Jr., to expand bank services to working people throughout the American West and, eventually, the whole United States. Historian Gerald D. Nash presents a full picture of this dynamic western financier, from Giannini's roots in the Italian immigrant community to his personal ties with President Franklin D. Roosevelt. As a teenager working fifteen hours a day for his stepfather's fruit commission business and equally as a seventy-year-old in active "retirement," A. P. showed a remarkable drive to be number one without compromising his honesty or is sympathetic treatment of the "little guy," who, he said, was his gigantic bank's best customer.

The vastness of the American West is apparent to anyone who travels through it, but what may not be immediately obvious is the extent to which the landscape has been shaped by the U.S. government. Water development projects, military bases, and Indian reservations may interrupt the wilderness vistas, but these are only an indication of the extent to which the West has become a federal landscape.Historian Gerald Nash has written the first account of the epic growth of the economy of the American West during the twentieth century, showing how national interests shaped the West over the course of the past hundred years. In a book written for a broad readership, he tells the story of how America's hinterland became the most dynamic and rapidly growing part of the country.The Federal Landscape relates how in the nineteenth century the West was largely developed by individual enterprise but how in the twentieth Washington, D.C., became the central player in shaping the region. Nash traces the development of this process during the Progressive Era, World War I, the New Deal, World War II, the affluent postwar years, and the cold-war economy of the 1950s. He analyzes the growth of western cities and the emergence of environmental issues in the 1960s, the growth of a vibrant Mexican-U.S. border economy, and the impact of large-scale immigration from Latin America and Asia at century's end.Although specialists have studied many particular facets of western growth, Nash has written the only book to provide a much-needed overview of the subject. By addressing subjects as diverse as public policy, economic development, environmental and urban issues, and questions of race, class, and gender, he puts the entire federal landscape in perspective and shows how the West was really won."It was the federal government that determined the pattern of farms in the humid regions, built the major roads and highways, and fostered the growth of the principle cities in the West. The federal government built the large dams and diverted important river systems throughtout the West, determined the shape of the large military reservations and their environs, and forced Native Americans to occupy the reservations on which they can be found today. The government is largely responsible for the aerospace complexes and scientific research centers that became so important in the West during the second half of the twentieth century. In short, the federal government created a federal landscape in the West." --Gerald D. Nash

Gerald D. Nash offers a balanced survey on American oil policies over a seventy-five year span, and places in historical perspective the controversies of government- business relations that have resulted from oil depletion and surplus allowances. Focusing on a single industry, Nash provides a valuable study on the government's role in private economic activity. He concludes that Americans have given the government great power in regulating the nation's industries, and in particular, as they relate to defense considerations, and the laws of supply and demand within American borders, and internationally.
