Book excerpt: Ah - The West! The unknown land beyond the wide Missouri River! Booming trade between young America and Mexico exploded after the yoke of Spanish rule was lifted from Santa Fe in 1821. First with pack mules heading out across the unexplored prairie through dangerous Indian country, then thousands of lumbering covered wagons on The Trail carried guns, iron, whiskey, cotton, coffee, for the southwest trade; the story of The Santa Fe Trail embodies the unique early-day West America loves. And, too, rich Mexican land-owners in the far west soon joined in, bringing mules, silver, pelts, and gold up The Trail to bustling St. Louis markets. It was the talk of the nation.

Download or read book The Santa Fe Trail in Missouri written by Mary Collins Barile and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2010-04-12 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For nineteenth-century travelers, the Santa Fe Trail was an indispensable route stretching from Missouri to New Mexico and beyond, and the section called “The Missouri Trail”—from St. Louis to Westport—offered migrating Americans their first sense of the West with its promise of adventure. The truth was, any easterner who wanted to reach Santa Fe had to first travel the width of Missouri. This book offers an easy-to-read introduction to Missouri’s chunk of Santa Fe Trail, providing an account of the trail’s historical and cultural significance. Mary Collins Barile tells how the route evolved, stitched together from Indian paths, trappers’ traces, and wagon roads, and how the experience of traveling the Santa Fe Trail varied even within Missouri. The book highlights the origin and development of the trail, telling how nearly a dozen Missouri towns claimed the trail: originally Franklin, from which the first wagon trains set out in 1821, then others as the trailhead moved west. It also offers a brief description of what travelers could expect to find in frontier Missouri, where cooks could choose from a variety of meats, including hogs fed on forest acorns and game such as deer, squirrels, bear, and possum, and reminds readers of the risks of western travel. Injury or illness could be fatal; getting a doctor might take hours or even days. Here, too, are portraits of early Franklin, which was surprisingly well supplied with manufactured “boughten” goods, and Boonslick, then the near edge of the Far West. Entertainment took the form of music, practical jokes, and fighting, the last of which was said to be as common as the ague and a great deal more fun—at least from the fighters’ point of view. Readers will also encounter some of the major people associated with the trail, such as William Becknell, Mike Fink, and Hanna Cole, with quotes that bring the era to life. A glossary provides useful information about contemporary trail vocabulary, and illustrations relating to the period enliven the text. The book is easy and informative reading for general readers interested in westward expansion. It incorporates history and folklore in a way that makes these resources accessible to all Missourians and anyone visiting historic sites along the trail.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Santa Fe Trail was one of the two great overland highways originating in Missouri in the nineteenth century. Several decades before settlers streamed over the Oregon Trail, traders were heading southwest. The caravans carried the wares of Yankee commerce; they returned loaded with buffalo robes and beaver pelts and the rich metals of Mexican mines. The thousand-mile journey “was a perilous cruise across a boundless sea of grass, over forbidding mountains, among wild beasts and wilder men, ending in an exotic city offering quick riches, friendly foreign women, and a moral holiday,” writes Stanley Vestal. Vestal begins where the trail does. He describes outfitting for the trip, the society formed for survival, the hunt for meat, landmarks, and the dangers. He evokes the history and legends surrounding the trail at every point, including figures like Kit Carson, Jedediah Smith, the Bent brothers, and Uncle Dick Wooton.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Summer Scamper: Along the Old Santa Fe Trail and Through the Gorges of Colorado to Zion We are in the habit of thinking and speaking of the section west of the Missouri River as a new country, yet it was explored before New England, and is as rich in legendry and romance as the castle-crowned banks of the Rhine. From the mouth of the Kaw River, along "The Old Santa Fe Trail," every mile has its history of peaceful commerce and bloody warfare; and when the land of the Pueblos is reached, the antiquarian will find ruins as venerable as England's most ancient abbey, and customs that are as old as Egypt. It was only thirty years after the discovery of this continent by Columbus, and nearly a century before the pious Pilgrims bowed their grateful knees upon "that stern and rock-bound coast," that an old buccaneer from Spain was rambling over the plains of Kansas, searching for Florida.
