Connor, Seymour V.

Broadcloth and britches the Santa Fe trade Seymour V. Connor and Jimmy M. Skaggs - College Station, TX Texas A & M University Press 1977 - 225 p

In this detailed and lively narrative, the authors trace the origins, development, and decline of the trade: the early expeditions; the route and its hazards; transport, financing, and profits; the effects of complex political shifts in Spain, Mexico, Texas, and the United States; and the economic consequences of increasingly efficient supply to a relatively fixed market.
