Heroes of the Santa Fe Trail

Read Heroes of the Santa Fe Trail Storyline:

Heroes of the Santa Fe Trail, illustrated and with a bibliography, is the product of decades of primary research by a writer who has lived all of his life in the shadow the Trail’s legacy. This book tells the dramatic story of the men and women—Hispanic, Anglo, and Native American—who settled the West and provides insights not commonly found elsewhere. From the Hispanic Jaramillo and Chavez families of the Rio Grande Valley to the legacy of Ham Bell, a nonviolent man who made more arrests than any Dodge City lawman, Heroes relates the violent, comic, and often tragic adventures of the pioneers of the early Santa Fe Trail.
