DAVID, LAVENDER The Santa Fe Trail
Scholastic, 1997. 1st Printing, Paperback.ISBN.: 0590062522. 64. The 775-mile-long wagon road between frontier Missouri and Santa Fe, New Mexico was dangerous. Intense heat, killing blizzards, and the constant threat of attacking Indians made traveling the Santa FeTrail very risky. In spite of the hardships, the Santa Fe Trail became an important link in America's growth. The area along the Santa Trail became vital to the Union in the Civil War. After its victory, the area 1became a main frontier and the railroad was built. Suddenly, the very real danger of the Santa Fe Trail became a memory - a stirring part of the story of a nation's expansion across the continent to the Pacific Ocean. Here is the story of the people who traveled the trail, fought for it, settled along it, and finally saw it disappear. Historical photographs and black-and-white reproductions accompany the text.. Very Good/. Mild cover edge wear. Great classroom addition for 4th grade learners. Reading Level 4, Ages 8-12.
