Foreward by W.F. Cody "Buffalo Bill"

Colonel Inman, as a person who lived part of the history of the Santa Fe Trail, presents a history rife with detail. From the Spaniards, the inception of Santa Fe, through first pioneers, famous men, the Mexican-American War, the Taos Rebellion, the origins of the trail, the neglect by the United States government of New Mexico, men and locations on the trail of northern New Mexico, Indian wars and the coming of the railroads, this history is fascinating reading with details often not presented in more modern New Mexico histories.
