Excerpt from A Summer Scamper: Along the Old Santa Fe Trail and Through the Gorges of Colorado to Zion We are in the habit of thinking and speaking of the section west of the Missouri River as a new country, yet it was explored before New England, and is as rich in legendry and romance as the castle-crowned banks of the Rhine. From the mouth of the Kaw River, along "The Old Santa Fe Trail," every mile has its history of peaceful commerce and bloody warfare; and when the land of the Pueblos is reached, the antiquarian will find ruins as venerable as England's most ancient abbey, and customs that are as old as Egypt. It was only thirty years after the discovery of this continent by Columbus, and nearly a century before the pious Pilgrims bowed their grateful knees upon "that stern and rock-bound coast," that an old buccaneer from Spain was rambling over the plains of Kansas, searching for Florida.

In 1846, fifteen-year-old Jonathan Starbuck sets out from Independence, Missouri, on a journey along the Sante Fe trail.
While accompanying his father on the wagon train along the Santa Fe Trail, Lewis discovers what it is to be a man.
Eulogised and ostracised, James Butler Hickok was alternately labelled courageous, affable, and self-confident; cowardly, cold-blooded, and drunken; a fine specimen of manhood; an overdressed dandy with perfumed hair; an unequaled marksman; and a poor shot. Born in Illinois in 1837, he was shot dead in Deadwood only 39 years later. By then both famous and infamous, he was widely known as Wild Bill.
