Distant horizon : documents from the nineteenth-century American West
Chronicles the dusty world of the cowboy, the hard-scrabble existence of the farmer and the settler, and the miner's vision of golden glory. This work examines the independent nature of the explorer and mountain man and the sometimes heroic, sometimes cruel existence of the soldier.
