Story of the Great American West

by Reader’s Digest, 1977

Condition; good, some tears on dust jacket with shelf wear over hard cover.

Here in one superb volume is the story of America’s greatest adventure – the new country, the Indians, the people, the wars, the trails and the great bonanzas of silver and gold. It all comes alive in this spritely, concise, well-organized text; and the illustrations have rarely been equaled in interest and clarity. Here is the most exciting and lavishly illustrated one-volume history of the west ever published. Lively text and 1,000 illustrations, many in full color tell the early story of America.
