Santa Fe Trail Ready-Made Adventure


Title:
Santa Fe Trail Ready-Made Adventure

Description:
While more Settlers traveled the Oregon and California Trails, it was the Santa Fe Trail that tamed the prairie. Military forts along the Trail provided the backing and support of the U.S. Government, and subdued and relocated the native peoples of the plains and the Southwest. By the 1870's the barons of commerce turned their eyes to the railroads after the first Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad train reached Santa Fe. The story of the Santa Fe Trail is not a long chapter in the history of the West, but there is no question it is an important and enduring chronicle in America's advance to become a great nation.
