The story of America's westward movement is at heart the story of men and women of all origins and beliefs who helped shape the
character of a nation. They lived a stirring epic, the telling of which grows ever more fascinating it becomes ever more remote. It has
become a romance, a drama of men and women against the forces of a stupendous land and nameless terrors. Pain and violence
tormented whites and Indians alike. Here, from award-winning historian David Lavender, is their enduring story.
