Book Overview
A look at the West through the eyes and experiences of the men and women who responded to the phrase, Manifest Destiny, and sought their futures on the American Frontier. Authentic photographs and western memorabilia spreads illustrate the events of the experience, looks at the geographical features that dictated much of the history, and, along with an authoritative text, show how the earlier Americans -- native-born and otherwise -- made their way around the country through rough trails, river transport, Pony Express, and the fledgling railroads.

Incredible Book!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
This is a fabulous compilation! It tells the complete story of how the West was explored, survey, and settled... It's got it all, the miners, the Civil War, the cowboys, the outlaws, the indians, the women, the law, and pictorially and literally describes how the western side of the Country went from being uncharted to developed and civilized in less than a hundred years. This has to be THE single best History book on the era of the Old West.
