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: Compared to such famous frontier paths as Lewis and Clark's route and the Oregon Trail, most people know little about the seminal trade route we call the Santa Fe Trail, yet this rough wagon road endured longer than any other American trail west of the Mississippi River. From 1821 to 1880, bold and daring men loaded their wagons with trade goods and set out from Missouri to Santa Fe, in the newly independent nation of Mexico. These merchants, teamsters, and travelers exchanged not only material goods, but also ideas and customs, forever altering the cultural and political landscape for American, Mexican, and Indian peoples along the route. Taking the reader on an imaginative tour from end to end, author Ronald Dulle often stops to explore how wagon trains are organized or what a campsite looks like; to notice the strange food, clothing, and habits of the day; or to imagine the feeling of a rainy day in the saddle. With dozens of stunning color photographs and a fascinating narrative, Dulle helps readers envision the frontier experience and appreciate the myriad material and cultural changes the Santa Fe Trail brought to our growing nation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Colorado and the Santa Fe Trail It would have been proper to say more about the burning Indian question but a suitable disquisition thereon would have not only outrun the limits of the book, but cast a sombre tinge over it. It is a wonder that people who profess to regulate their individual lives on the principle of there being a certain and inexorable retribution for wickedness, will not comprehend that they share the responsibility of their country for its shameful, infamous wrong-doing in this regard. Much can be said in j ustification of the residents of the West in their hatred of the Indian, and the evil lies far back of them. The United States are clearly convicted of the acts of cruelty, perfidy, and dishonour which have had their logical sequence in the smoke and flame of burning houses, and the shrieks of murdered women and children, which have gone up, year after year, on the frontier. Individuals who are guilty of such crimes are warned to expect a judgment on them. If ever an aggregation of individuals.
