The settling of the American West was an accomplishment of heroic proportions, an effort fraught with real peril and incredible hardships, undertaken by people of extraordinary determination and courage. Doling out opportunity and disappointment in equal measures, this vast, untamed region spawned a totally different outlook on life and demanded a combination of radically reworked and completely new institutions. Chronicling the real-life adventures and adversities of explorers and settlers, this pictorial history tells the story of America's pioneer days and examines the impact of the Gold Rush, the Oregon and Santa Fe Trails, the transcontinental railroad, cattle drives, and the Indian wars on the expansion West. Illustrated with black-and-white photographs and line drawings, here is an intriguing historical document recounting one of the most remarkable chapters in our national heritage.
