The West That Was by Hallmark Crown Editions-1973 Publication----A used book but in good condition. Dust Jacket is showing wear. (See pictures)

*****This is a nostalgic collection of Writings and Pictures recalling the authentic American West of a Century and more ago.    The West That Was takes us back to the days when the West was wild---a primitive land of gold fever, buffalo, cowboys, Indians and outlaws. It brings us face to face with the individualism that gave the West a character all its own.

***From diaries, letters and journals of the time, we read of the patient struggle of men and women moving across the rugged plains and mountains by wagon train, stagecoach, and iron horse to carve a new life out of a vast ---and sometimes deadly-wilderness.

***The West That Was captures this expressive spirit in the finest works of such frontier artists as Frederic Remington and Charles Russell and in historic photographs of the period.

***Here is a book of romance and realism that will be the source of lasting enjoyment. It is the saga of the American West.
