Beskrivelse
"Pioneers Of the American West" comes in four volumes, in chronological order. The history of the American West is the story of trail-makers, pioneers in every sense of the word. Blazing the way for all, came the men and women who explored and ploughed and planted the wilderness. Many of the most stirring of these chronicles have passed out of print and are now inaccessible even to the painstaking student. It is from among these almost forgotten, yet vital records that this series is based upon. Volume II. traces the trail of adventures of the 1849 California Gold Rush, mountain man Jim Bridger, gold seekers traversing the Isthmus Of Panama to an overcorwded steamship for San Francisco and the gold fields, John C. Fremont's epic horse ride from Mexico to Los Angeles, the romantic Luck Of Roaring Camp, and the settling of Salt Lake City.
