This is a pioneering work in a field long neglected by both popular and academic historians. It is the tale of men and women from Portugal who settled the frontier in the vast American West. It is innovative in structure, mingling in its parts biographical studies, geographical focus, and occupational pursuits. Over 50 photos and 5 maps illuminate the text.
352 pages, with extensive notes, bibliography, and index. Protected in a color dust jacket.
