Plot

Examines the many strands that created the history and mythology of the American westward expansion. A variety of attractions--furs, gold, land, the railway boom--drew men wet; and different cultures--such as those of Catholic Mexico, the Mormons, the cattle barons and the Indians--clashed, prospered and declined...Illustrated with over 300 photographs and paintings, this book is a marvelous insight into the reality of a legendary epoch.
