H. W. Brands tells the thrilling, panoramic story of the American West's settling from John Jacob Astor's fur trading outpost in Oregon to the Texas Revolution, from the California gold rush to the Oklahoma land run. The West was where riches rewarded the miner's persistence, the cattleman's courage and the railroad man's enterprise; but El Dorado was at least as elusive in the West as it ever was in the East.
