'Pioneers Of the American West' comes in four volumes, in chronological order. The history of the American West is the story of trail-makers, pioneers in every sense of the word. Blazing the way for all, came the men and women who explored and ploughed and planted the wilderness. Many of the most stirring of these chronicles have passed out of print and are now inaccessible even to the painstaking student. It is from among these almost forgotten, yet vital records that this series is based upon. Volume IV. of 'Pioneers Of the American West' traces the trail of adventures from old Tucson, the heart-broken demise of young Anita told at Trinidad, New Mexico, a character called Specimen Jones, and the straddle-bug lands of the Dakotas.
