This book is a collection of first-hand accounts by 19th-century overlanders, which offers an intensely personal view of that arduous trip. In retrospect, the history of the Santa Fe Trail—crossing forests, prairies, rivers, and deserts—seems overlayed with the gloss of romance and chivalry. It is set off by heroic attitudes and picturesque adventures. And it has left a deep imprint on one region of the American West-Kansas. Kansas claimed the largest share of the trail: from a beginning point at either Kansas City or Fort Leavenworth it angled across the entire state, exiting over four hundred miles later in the southwestern corner. It would be no exaggeration to say that trade and travel on the Santa Fe Trail derived much of its special flavor from the Kansas experience and that, in turn, the presence of the trail went a long way toward shaping the early history of the state. A clean very presentable copy.…

Paperback. Etat : Very Good +. Third Edition. Written as a scrupulously accurate guidebook to the prairies and as an authoritative account of the early Santa Fe trade, Commerce of the Prairies has been a favorite of historians, ethnologists, naturalists, and collectors of Western Americana for generations. But Greggs masterpiece is not for specialists alone: its vivid descriptions of desert mirages, wagon caravans, Indian alarms and attacks, buffalo hunts, and other early Western phenomena will delight all who wish to know the country as it was before the great herds of buffalo were slaughtered and the roving Indians confined to reservations, before the landscape was transformed by barbed wire, domestic cattle, plowed fields, and modern highways.

XX [From the flaps of the dust jacket] A remarkable series of Spanish letters and reports on the early Comanches, found in old Mexican archives and here published for the first time. All text in English. These documents give an entirely new concept of the Comanches—who then had a highly developed, quasi-military organization under their own offcers. In this era they were invincible against other tribes, and the Spaniards found they honored all treaties—becoming valuable allies. Here are three reports by Pedro de Nava and one each by Jacobo Ugarte y Loyola, Fernando de la Concha, Joaquin Real Alencaster, and Alexo Garcia Conde, from the provinces of New and Texas. XX (ABOUT THE EDITOR) Dr. Marc Simmons has become—in a few years—one of New Mexico's recognized experts in the study of old Spanish documents relating to the Southwest. The reports and letters in this book were discovered by him while searching in the archives for material to be used in a later, comprehensive work on the Comanches. He translated and edited a previous Stagecoach Press book: INDIAN AND MISSION AFFAIRS IN NEW MEXICO, 1773, a report by Governor Fermin de Mendinueta.…
