Six Key Trails in Pioneering America
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is a beautiful book and probably more collectible as time goes on! Physically well-designed and aesthetically beautiful, the "faux" or imitation leather cover of the hardback edition has a very artistic faux engraving or imprint on the cover as well as gold lettering on the spine in the tradition of fine quality books.The National Geographic Society did an incredible high-quality job on this one! The book contains more than 130 color photographs. Both the writers and photographers joined wagon-train reenactments to get a hands-on feel for their subject matter. The journals and letters of the original trailblazers were researched to help bring to life the joys and pains of the trails.The trails (chapters) are these: The Sante Fe Trail, The Oregon Trail, The Mormon Trail, The California Trail, The Gila Trail, The Bozeman Trail.Highly recommended for those interested in the history of the pioneers or those who will be traveling or sightseeing in the areas of the trails.
