In this ultimate resource to the American west, you'll uncover the resistance that these enterprising settlers faced, from the Native Americans to the unforgiving terrain. Discover the reality of what life was like on the frontier during the Gilded Age and meet some of the key figures who shaped the legends of the Wild West, including Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp, Pat Garrett, Doc Holliday, James "Wild Bill" Hickok, and many others.
Explore Lewis and Clark's journey into uncharted territory as they discovered the west, learn of the rise and fall of the age of the cowboys, and find out how indigenous tribes suffered at the hands of the western settlers, from wars and legislation that stripped them of their rights, to attempts to crush existing cultures.
