Sobre este artículo
Harrisburg, PA: The National Historical Society, 1994 The National Historical Society, Harrisburg, PA. 1994. Hardcover. Reprint of the 1954 edition by University of OK Press. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; light bumping to head and tail. No DJ as issued. Brown cloth boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine; blindstamped on the front board The West As It Was. 196 pp 4to. For more than a dozen tempestuous years, beginning in 1867, the Chisholm Trail was the Texas cowhand’s road to high adventure. It offered the excitement of sudden stampedes, hazardous river crossings, and brushes with Indian marauders. It promised, at the end of the drive, hilarious celebrations in the saloons, gambling parlors, and dance halls of frontier Kansas towns. The account that appears on these pages reveals the courage, daring, and enterprise of the cattle owners and their cowboys, establishing them firmly as heroes in the westward expansion. A clean very presentable copy.
