Back to all
The book uses seven main protagonists – Daniel Boone, Red Eagle, Davy Crockett, Mangas Coloradas, Kit Carson, Sitting Bull, and William “Buffalo Bill” Cody – as the biographical threads by which to weave a tapestry across seven generations, telling a story of heroic conquest and dark tragedy, of sacrifice and greed, and of man-made wonders and environmental ruin. It is the story of the American western expansion that came to mold a new people over time.
