From the rear cover

The first book of its kind, Seven Trails West explores the major routes that linked the eastern United States to the Far West: the trail blazed by the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the Santa Fe Trail, the Oregon-California Trail, the Mormon Trail, the Pony Express, the Transcontinental Telegraph, and the Transcontinental Railroad. Abundantly illustrated with a far-ranging selection of archival photographs, paintings, and documents, this handsome volume also features clear maps of each of the trails and striking color photographs of the challenging terrain traversed by the emigrants.
