Synopsis
In the years following the Mexican War, the Gila Trail was truly a "destiny road" for America. Stretching from Texas west to San Diego, it linked the newly acquired California territory with the rest of the nation and became the most famous stagecoach road between the two. Over this route came the precious Overland Mail. And over the same streamed the gold-seakers of -419. cattle drives, wagon trains. Civil War armies, and later, the Southern Pacific railroad. In the process of crossing the arid Southwest, some of the travelers. workers. and cowboys began to alter their thoughts about the region. It began to seem a suitable home for more and yet more Americans. So grew the towns of El Paso. Tucson. and San Diego. Destiny Rood is the colorful. exciting story of the trail that first opened this land to settlement, and of the men who built it, followed it. and fought over it.
