On The Santa Fe Trail

Edited by Marc Simmons

“A wonderful contribution to Western Americana . . . Vivid impressions . . . A book that will endure.” Dee Brown, author of Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee

 

“One of the great strengths of this collection is its diversity; included are writings by any army major, Indian agent, German immigrant woman, and a New Mexican drover . . . These travelers offer a wide and enlightening range of perspectives regarding the demanding conditions of the Santa Fe trail. Simmons has wisely supplemented the narratives with useful lists of trail sites, illustrations, a map, and suggestions for further reading. The volume provides significant insights for anyone interested in understanding the westering experience.”

Glenda Riley, author of Women and Indians on the Frontier
