L1979.1.680Description
Wheels West, 1590-1900. The settling of the American West was perhaps the greatest mass emigration in the history of the world, and it would have been impossible without wheeled transportation. This is the story that Richard Dunlop tells, beginning with the arrival of the Spaniards in 1590 and ending with the final development of the railroads and the closing of the frontier in 1900. More than 200 rare contemporary illustrations, among them dramatic photographs of Kit Carson, extremely rare views of Custer's Black Hills expedition, and the Deadwood Stage.
