Touring the Old West is a practical guide to what is left of the western frontier and a page-turning history for those wo can't hit the trail. In this "love letter to half of America," Kent Ruth takes the reader through twenty-one states, pointing out legendary and little-known attractions on and off the main highways.
Ruth directs today's explorer to famous old trails and landmarks, crumbling cemeteries, and original rail lines to Indian encampments and military forts (some of them restored and catering to history buffs). The tour is dotted with old-time fur trading posts, boom-and-bust mining camps, sleepy ghost towns, and near-ghosts with hotels still standing. Photographs and a state-by-state index identify authentic highlights for anybody's "out West" tour.

Store description
3,000 sq ft 35,000 + books mostly out of print, rare, many foreign language. especially strong in NATIVE AMERICA, WESTERN AMERICANA,SCIENCE, TECHNICAL,ART. Been here 30+. No international orders please too many scammers (Australians) and constantly changing rules and people in Germany complaining and adding weird new hoops (Extended Producer Responsibility) to jump through. Every country wants it's own tax form and tax ID and and VAT Number and IOSS ID or countless other acronyms that change weeksly and it's not worth it for us sorry.…
