It Happened in the Old West

It Happened In the Old West
edited by Erin H. Turner

Covers almost fifty stories of what happened in the West as Easterners and immigrants began to flow into the plains, deserts and mountains between the Mississippi River and the Pacific Ocean. While there were many natural disasters, it was because of the influx of humanity that the events were recorded and have become part of America's history. Stories include topics about the slaughter of the buffalo, homesteading, the orphan train, building the transcontinental railroad, the Indian Wars, Lewis and Clark's grizzly encounters, the Oregon Trail and the Santa Fe Trail. Chock full of details about frontier life. Soft cover. 264 pages.
