Lavishly illustrated with photographs and maps, this is the definitive history of a time and place that forever lives in legend. Travel with fur traders and trappers through the Pacific northwest; read accounts of brave pioneers heading west along the Oregon Trail; see 19th-century technology progress as the golden spike connects the east and west coasts; and learn the stories of unforgettable characters who made the American West.

Illustrations and archival imagery illuminate the conquest by the Spanish and other Europeans, exploration by Americans, the land rushes by settlers, the Indian Wars, the gold rushes, cowboy culture, loggers, railroad builders, and more. Sidebars showcase fascinating figures and topics of the Old West, including: Annie Oakley, gunslinger and performer; the rise of the copper kings; 'Western' motion pictures; feuds between cowboys, ranchers, and sheep herders, and more"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 978.02 Hy   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 978.02 Hyslop   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 978.02 Hy   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 978.02 Hy   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 978.02 Hy   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 978.02 Hy National Geographic Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 978.02 Hy   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 978.02 Hy   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Manoa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 978.02 Hy   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 978.02 Hy   Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
