Produktbeschreibung

The Heart of the Continent is an up close, gritty and personal view, via the Overland Stagecoach, of the American West on the cusp of its full settlement and exploitation. Ludlow brought back the first shocking tales of "free love" in the new Mormon Zion of Utah, and unnerving views of lynchings, Indian massacres across the lawless West.
