American West By Lucius Beebe & Charles Clegg DJ 1989
The American West By Lucius Beebe & Charles Clegg Dust Jacket 1989 edition The pictorial epic of a continent. Over 1000 black & White illustrations, 511 Pages
This truly remarkable book recreates the sweeping epic of the American West with a wealth of rare illustrations and an engaging, authoritative text. To us, the Old West is more than a geographical location, it is also a state of mind, and this volume captures the ruggedness and spiritedness we associate with it.
A veritable treasury of Western culture and history, The American West chronicles the days of the first pioneers as well as the final passing of this exciting era. Here are the exploits of the fur trappers and buffalo hunters, and the homesteaders and the gold seekers. Here, too, are accounts of the opening of farmlands and lumber forests in the Northwest, the Mormon trek to Utah, the Indian wars, life on the cattle range, and the building of the transcontinental railroads.
You'll also find intriguing profiles of outlaw Billy the Kid, showman Buffalo Bill Cody, prohibitionist Carrie Nation, and San Francisco honorary firefighter Lilly Coit, among other well-known figures of the Old West. Packed with dramatic and colorful personalities, all the popular Western types appear in these pages: the hunter, the scout, the Pony Express rider, the miner and the cowpuncher, the cavalry soldier, the prospector, the outlaw and the vigilante, the dance hall girl, the settler in his shanty and the millionaire in his plush Virginia City hotel.
The American West presents a panoramic view of this vast region where in less than a century was played out one of the greatest dramas in this nation's history.
