Beschreibung

During the 1840s, the rarely visited Great American Desert of the Southern Plains and Southwest became part of the inexorable westward expansion, as European traders and settlers headed overland from the eastern seaboard. This title explores the design and development of the sites, the life of the garrisons that manned them, and more.
