Résumé:

"...Tells the story of a boyhood in upstate New York during the fifties; of a Union soldier's adventures along the Potomac and at Gettysburg; of the Great Plains before a railroad spanned the continent; of the early Mormon settlement at Great Salt Lake; of wild Spanish horses in California; and of Indians in the Southwest. It is the story of the unexplored Yellowstone, and how Mr. Jackson's photographs caused Congress to set aside the region as our first national park; of Cheyenne and the meeting of the Union Pacific rails in 1869; of Denver and the fabulous Leadville of the seventies."--Book jacket.
