The Santa Fe Trail was one of the two great overland highways originating in Missouri in the nineteenth century. Several decades before settlers streamed over the Oregon Trail, traders were heading southwest. The caravans carried the wares of Yankee commerce; they returned loaded with buffalo robes and beaver pelts and the rich metals of Mexican mines. The thousand-mile journey “was a perilous cruise across a boundless sea of grass, over forbidding mountains, among wild beasts and wilder men, ending in an exotic city offering quick riches, friendly foreign women, and a moral holiday,” writes Stanley Vestal. Vestal begins where the trail does. He describes outfitting for the trip, the society formed for survival, the hunt for meat, landmarks, and the dangers. He evokes the history and legends surrounding the trail at every point, including figures like Kit Carson, Jedediah Smith, the Bent brothers, and Uncle Dick Wooton.

Ah - The West! The unknown land beyond the wide Missouri River! Booming trade between young America and Mexico exploded after the yoke of Spanish rule was lifted from Santa Fe in 1821. First with pack mules heading out across the unexplored prairie through dangerous Indian country, then thousands of lumbering covered wagons on The Trail carried guns, iron, whiskey, cotton, coffee, for the southwest trade; the story of The Santa Fe Trail embodies the unique early-day West America loves. And, too, rich Mexican land-owners in the far west soon joined in, bringing mules, silver, pelts, and gold up The Trail to bustling St. Louis markets. It was the talk of the nation.
