Draws on eyewitness accounts to tell the story of the fabled Santa Fe Trail
For nearly half a century, the Santa Fe Trail served as an avenue of exchange, where transactions ranged from friendly give-and-take to guarded trade to lethal attempts to settle scores. In 1846, the trail became the means for American seizure of Mexican territory--yet the economic and cultural exchanges continued even in the midst of war. In Bound for Santa Fe, Stephen G. Hyslop draws on eyewitness accounts to retrace the journey from Missouri to New Mexico, weaving together nearly one hundred accounts by scores of people who traveled the trail.
Independent historian Stephen G. Hyslop is the author of several books, including Contest for California: From Spanish Colonization to the American Conquest; Bound for Santa Fe: The Road to New Mexico and the American Conquest, 1806-1848; and The Old West. He served as editor of a 23-volume series on Native Americans for Time-Life Books.
