Reviews
"If you are stirred by the legends that endure around the opening of the American West, then poking through the index of Dary's book will send chills down your neck. There are great names here: Jedediah Smith, the mountain man who once, famously, survived a grizzly-bear attack and had a companion sew his ear back onto his head; Kit Carson, the celebrated scout; John C. Fremont, a.k.a. 'The Pathfinder'; Zebulon Pike, the map maker, and, perhaps, secret agent; Buffalo Bill Cody. . . . But what is often missed in the story of the Western frontier is how much it was not about destiny--manifest or otherwise--but about commerce. This is a story that Dary tells comprehensively and ably."-- Wall Street Journal "Dary demonstrates a firm grasp of the terrain's history and is skilled at resurrecting the old lives of this landscape. . . . A densely populated account executed with fine historical veracity."-- Kirkus "A grand, sprawling story, populated by characters whose voices emerge loud and clear from their journals and letters . . . An unforgettable procession of dreamers and doers, losers and winners, villains and heroes (and heroines) in a well-told and carefully researched tale."-- New York Times Book Review "Rich with fascinating detail about how travelers made their way across those nearly 900 miles, what they packed, what animals they used, how much the freight weighed and what it was worth, and who those travelers were."-- Washington Post "Dary has done it again with this masterful treatment of a great American emblem."-- Los Angeles Times "Will be the standard source for the trail's history for years to come."-- Booklist, If you are stirred by the legends that endure around the opening of the American West, then poking through the index of Darys book will send chills down your neck.

As described... A+++ on shipping and price... C (and that's being generous) on time. If you have forever and a month of Sundays to wait around then by all means do so. The price was great and the seller communicated wonderfully and the item was packed well so it wasn't damaged during transit all A pluses in my book just took a little bit longer than I anticipated.
