N2 - We present a joint analysis of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing power spectra measured from the Data Release 6 of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) and Planck PR4, cross-correlations between the ACT and Planck lensing reconstruction and galaxy clustering from unWISE, and the unWISE clustering auto-spectrum. We obtain 1.5% constraints on the matter density fluctuations at late times parametrized by the best constrained parameter combination S83x2ptσ8(ωm/0.3)0.4=0.815±0.012. The commonly used S8σ8(ωm/0.3)0.5 parameter is constrained to S8=0.816±0.015. In combination with baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements we find σ8=0.815±0.012. We also present sound-horizon-independent estimates of the present day Hubble rate of H0=66.4-3.7+3.2 km s-1 Mpc-1 from our large scale structure data alone and H0=64.3-2.4+2.1 km s-1 Mpc-1 in combination with uncalibrated supernovae from Pantheon+. Using parametric estimates of the evolution of matter density fluctuations, we place constraints on cosmic structure in a range of high redshifts typically inaccessible with cross-correlation analyses. Combining lensing cross- and autocorrelations, we derive a 3.3% constraint on the integrated matter density fluctuations above z=2.4, one of the tightest constraints in this redshift range and fully consistent with a Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) model fit to the primary CMB from Planck. Finally, combining with primary CMB observations and using the extended low redshift coverage of these combined datasets we derive constraints on a variety of extensions to the ΛCDM model including massive neutrinos, spatial curvature, and dark energy. We find in flat ΛCDM mν<0.12 eV at 95% confidence using the large scale structure data, BAO measurements from Sloan Digital Sky Survey, and primary CMB observations.
