‘The Old Trails West: The Stories Of The Trails That Made A Nation’ by Ralph Moody.

Vintage hardback - first edition.

ISBN: 0883940280.

‘The Old Trails West is history with the flavour of fiction. It is the story of the great legendary routes that bound a wild land into a nation. The Oregon Trail, El Camino Real, the Butterfield Overland Mail, the Santa Fe Trail-these are names that conjure up the romance of the past. This book recounts the true stories behind the trails: what impelled their exploration, determined their paths, how they contributed to the settling of the West, and most of all, the adventures - sometimes heroic, sometimes tragic - of the brave men who made them.'
