Overview

This exhilarating account of the American West is at once a complete anecdotal history and a compendium of western lore. It shows what life on the frontier was really like. Lewis vividly depicts the pioneers, the onrush of the cattle barons, the coming of the lawmen and the tragic demise of the Plains Indians. Heroes and villains -- including Sitting Bull, Doc Holliday, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Crazy Horse and Custer -- are often revealed in a startling new light, and a host of minor characters are rescued from obscurity. Pays full homage to the part played by women and African-Americans, and includes a mass of intriguing and fascinating detail.
