''The Crossing'' is a 1904 best-selling novel by American Winston Churchill. It was the best-selling novel in the United States in 1904,〔Hackett, Alice Payne. (Seventy Years of Best Sellers 1895-1965 ), p. 100 (1967) (the lists for 1895-1912 in this volume are derived from the lists published in ''The Bookman (New York)'')〕 and includes illustrations by Sydney Adamson and Lilian Bayliss. A portion of the book first appeared in December 1903 in ''Collier's'' under the title ''The Borderland''.〔(American first editions ), p. 108 (1962)〕 The last of Churchill's sweeping historical novels, the plot concerns the westward expansion of the United States, including the settlement of Kentucky.〔Corbin, John (May 28, 1904). ("The Crossing." A New Historical American Novel by the Author of "Richard Carvel." ), ''The New York Times''〕 A stage adaption written by Churchill and Louis Evan Shipman (who had also worked on the stage adaption of ''The Crisis'') debuted in 1905 and briefly ran on Broadway in January 1906 for eight performances.〔(January 2, 1906).
