From the Inside Flap:
A fascinating account of the western migration of early American pioneers.
Seeking the promised land, the pioneers trekked 2,000 miles by covered wagon from the Missouri to the Pacific. They went into the unknown, braving dangers from hunger, thirst, disease, drowning and Indians. The year-by-year narrative builds to a climax with the dreadful tale of the Donner party marooned in the snow and reduced to cannibalism.

I knew comparatively little about the American West just what I remember from my early childhood at the tail end of the Cowboys and Indians boom which sort of petered out in the early 1970s. However this shows how much raw material the writers and film-makers had to use and how in some ways what they produced wasn't as far-fetched as I used to think. This book is long enough to totally immerse yourself in, well written, comprehensive, and informative in its detail. It covers just about every angle of the subject. As others have said one of the books where you feel slightly bereft when it's finally finished. Now I just need something similar on the Indian Wars and their protagonists - something like this which is neutral and fair when it talks about the Indians and the settlers."; 6.25 X 1.5 X 9.25 inches; 528 pages.
