The trail West

Library Journal

A comprehensive listing of diaries, reminiscences, books, and other items relating to western North American trails for the years indicated, with many entries accompanied by an indication of usefulness. But it is the indexes that make this listing unique: chronological by year of coverage, subject (equipment and teams, freight, mail, etc.), and trail segment subdivided by year. The result is a valuable guide to materials on western trails that will serve researchers for years to come. An essential purchase for all collections on the West and any library which receives questions related to trail studies.-- Stephen H. Peters, Northern Michigan Univ. Lib., Marquette
