From Library Journal:
Veteran author Brown (American West, LJ 12/94) has brought together periodical articles he has written over the course of his illustrious career. Arranged chronologically, the articles trace the history of the Western frontier from early settlements to what some consider the end of the frontier, the Battle of Wounded Knee. The short pieces present subjects such as the Cherokee Trail of Tears, the Santa Fe Trail, the Pony Express, and the Battle of Wounded Knee, along with colorful Western personalities, including Jim Bridger, Lewis and Clark, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and Geronimo. The articles are well written and interesting. Recommended for most libraries because of the popularity of the subject and the worthiness of the author.?Terri P. Summey, Emporia State Univ. Lib., Kan.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Dee Brown, our foremost popular historian of the American West, has been exploring its "true history" for more than 50 years in some 30 books and dozens of historical articles.

Without a political or ideological axe to grind, he has stripped away familiar stereotypes and romanticized images, he has always shown us the Old West as it really was. The enormously successful book that established his reputation, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee (1971), forever changed our view of the Indian. The 25 works in this collection span 100 years of history. Brown includes pieces on noted figures such as Lewis and Clark and Geronimo, stories of the Pony Express riders, longhorn ranchers and cowboys, and women who were brought to the West to marry miners and ranchers. He offers accounts of the Trail of Tears, the Santa Fe Trail, western settlement, the Plains Indians, war and peace between whites and Indians, and an assortment of intrigues, crimes, and scandals.Containing some of Brown's best work, this book will captivate readers with an interest in a perennially fascinating chapter of our history. "If my library of Western America was limited to a single book, I think it would have to be this wonderful anthology. Dee Brown has been our master." (Tony Hillerman) "The stories of such well-known figures as Lewis and Clark, Jim Bridger, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as well as other, more obscure characters are told as if Brown himself had lived closely with each. Supplemented by period photographs and illustrations, the anthology reads like fiction but educates as well. the best collection of his essays, showcasing his empathetic treatment of his subjects and his careful research, factors that have earned him high honors."
