Summary

For nineteenth-century travelers, the Santa Fe Trail was an indispensable route stretching from Missouri to New Mexico and beyond, and the section called "The Missouri Trail"-from St. Louis to Westport-offered migrating Americans their first sense of the West with its promise of adventure. Truth was, any easterner who wanted to reach Santa Fe had to first travel the width of Missouri.
