Dust jacket has a touch of wear at the head and tail of the spine at at some corners. However, dj looks quite nice in its protective cover. Dr. Jones, in this seminal work, adds a significant new dimension to the study of the development of the American West. Dr. Jones utilizes materials long ignored by historians to re-establish the forgotten legend of "the health frontier" as a movement of major importance.
