About
Out of hundreds of towns on the western frontier, only a handful ultimately survived to become true icons of the Old West. In this journey into the past, Wild West Tech strikes out across the young nation and stops at frontier settlements along the way. Discover how these outposts survived everything from Native American attacks and wild weather to the lawlessness that dominated life in the Old West, and learn why some whistle stops were transformed into important cities while others eventually faded away into oblivion. Period accounts detail what life was like in the saloons and stockyards, while visits to restored settlements and abandoned ghost towns provide a glimpse into the sometimes empty promises of "manifest destiny."--disc jacket.
