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.
