Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Santa Fe Trail’s role as the major western trade route in the early to mid-nineteenth century made it a critical part of America’s Westward expansion and the stories of its heyday include some of the greatest adventures in the history of the Old West. Drawn from first-hand accounts of early entrepreneurs and emigrants who braved the Santa Fe Trail between 1820 and 1880, this history reveals the lure of the West and puts its importance to American history in context. On the Santa Fe Trail paints a portrait of the land before the wagon tracks were carved in its surface and recounts the hardships, dangers, and adventures faced by the hardy souls who went West to make their fortunes.

Book excerpt: This question-and-answer book contains 400 reminders of what is known and what is sometimes forgotten or misunderstood about a city that was founded more than 400 years ago.

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.

Download or read book The Old Santa Fé Trail written by Henry Inman and published by . This book was released on 1899 with total page 560 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of its publication in 1881 "The Old Santa Fe Trail" was called the most interesting book ever written by an army officer. It can scarcely fail to occur to the thoughtful reader of this engrossing book that the current conception of American history, as gained from the text-books and manuals in common use, is singularly narrow and one-sided. The story of the magnificent pioneering exploits of the Spaniards, and of our own subsequent conquest and development of the vast Western and Southwestern territory which they were the first to enter and to settle, has been curiously neglected. There is no chapter in this story that is richer in the essential elements of romance, or of greater and more absorbing interest to the American reader, than the one contained in Colonel Inman's book. The Old Santa Fe Trail was once the great highway from the lower Missouri River to New Mexico. The first European to traverse it was De Vaca a Spanish explorer of the sixteenth century. De Vaca was the precursor of the later caravans of pack-mules and " prairie schooners," which in their turn gave way to the swift trains of the great Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fé Railway, which now spans the continent, and for nigh a thousand miles of its romantic course parallels and often coincides with the Old Trail. Thus the tourist who is whirled in a palace car over this route is traversing storied ground, where nearly every stream and hill and dale has its tale of peril or adventure. The thrilling story of the Old Trail and its doughty heroes is told sympathetically and in full detail by Colonel Inman. His book has a distinct historical value, and it is as readable as a romance of Scott or Stevenson. It is a book wherein American patriotism and national pride may find true nourishment; and therefore it is a book that every American youth ought to read.

Book excerpt: From 1610, when the Spanish founded the city of Santa Fe, to the 1860s, when the railroad brought unprecedented changes: here is the full, fascinating story of the great Santa Fe Trail which ran between Missouri and Kansas and New Mexico--a lifeline to and from the Southwest for more than two centuries. Drawing from letters, journals, expedition reports, business records, and newspaper stories, David Dary--one of our foremost historians of the Old West--brings to life the people who laid down the trail and opened commerce with Spanish America: Native Americans and mountain men, traders, trappers, and freighters, surveyors and soldiers, men and women of many different nationalities. Their firsthand accounts let us experience up close the spectacular scenery; the details of camping out in both friendly and hostile Indian territory; the constant danger from natural disasters or sudden attack; the hardworking, often maverick men who were employed on the wagon trains; the pleasures and entertainments at the southern end of the journey. The book makes clear how in the early years trade started and stopped at the whim of the Spanish, and how the trail finally grew and prospered, bringing the settlement of new towns and the creation of new wealth along the route. We also learn how the rapid spread of the railroads across the country inexorably replaced the long caravans of mule- and ox-drawn wagons, and the way of life they represented. With his comprehensive knowledge and his exceptional storytelling skills, David Dary has given us a vivid re-creation of an important time and place in American history.
