This book is an account of a pioneering journey through the American West in the 1860s, traveling by rail, stagecoach, and horseback to Colorado mining sites. The author provides a critical look at the so-called progress of the American frontier and the impact on Native Americans and the environment. Blending commentary on the author's adventures with observations on the social and political landscape of the era, this insightful narrative shows how the expansionist mindset of the time fueled ecological destruction and the near-annihilation of indigenous peoples. Through the author's experiences, this historical travelogue offers a nuanced perspective on Manifest Destiny, resource extraction, and the tumultuous growth of a young nation.
