The American Frontier: Pioneers, Settlers, and Cowboys 1800–1899 Paperback – Illustrated, 30 April 1999

An incredibly readable history, with great photos, of the pioneers who braved the frontier for a better life and those they encountered along the way. If you enjoyed ‘1883’ you’ll like this.

This has got to be the best book on the history of the West of the USA and how the West was discovered and developed. Packed with facts, great colour pictures and historical detail! I’d recommend it for anyone with a general interest, but also for school and university projects or if you’re planning a trip to the west of the US and want to be informed before you go!

Bought for a gift and told they enjoyed it
