Historic pioneer trails serve as some of the most fascinating links to our nation's past and retracing them can be an exhilarating and educational experience.
This book follows the Santa Fe Trail and is aimed at assisting modern travelers in enlarging their understanding of the trail and increasing the enjoyment that comes from following the wagon tracks of pioneers.
Originating in Franklin, Missouri, the Santa Fe Trail was the first and most exotic of America's great trans-Mississippi pathways to the west.
Although the era of the trail ceased, its glory days are still part of the collective imagination of America.
This book is very detailed if you want to follow the Santa Fe Trail from start to finish. Daughters of American Revolution (DAR) markers and historic monuments can be found along the Santa Fe Trail to help point out where the trail goes.
Wagon swells can also be seen in certain spots along the route.
If you want to learn the history of the trail and where it went this is an excellent source.
