Into the West

It took a certain kind of person to pick up and head into the relatively unknown western frontier in the 1800s. In the January issue, we meet some of the different people who heard and responded to the call of adventure, which, in turn, led to the United States expanding from coast to coast. From mountain men to cowboys, pioneers to exodusters, soldiers to immigrants, writers and Pony Express riders, we explore the groups and individuals that made the West famous or became famous for their contribution to settling the West. Of course, we also explore how this movement across the land resulted in the complete destruction of the Native American way of life and almost made the American bison extinct.
