Stanley B. Kimball
Historic Sites and Markers
is an indispensable guide for travelers who wish to retrace the various frontier
routes taken by the Mormons and other pioneers in their treks westward. Traversing
fifteen states from New York to California, Stanley Kimball presents some of
America's most famous trails--the Mormon, the Oregon-California, the Santa Fe,
the Overland, and many others--and describes important points of interest, including
forts, trail centers, and museums.
"An important contribution
to the history of the West and perhaps the most comprehensive mile-by-mile guide
to trail markers and historical sites ever prepared."
-- Brigham D. Madsen, author of The Shoshoni Frontier and the Bear
River Massacre
