How the West Was Really Won is no dusty and boring history tome. It's a raw, unflinching ride through the blood, grit, and glory of the American frontier from 1802 to 1890. Chronicled year by year, this book lays out the bare and honest brutality of the Indian Wars and broken treaties. It unearths bizarre and little-known facts, while peppering the narrative with sharp-witted tall tales, folklore, and quips to keep you entertained. From the Lewis and Clark expedition to the closing of the frontier, every page pulses with vivid stories of triumph, tragedy, and treachery. You'll also learn about the everyday people who made the West their home, from farmers to cowboys to Native Americans. Complete with illustrations of important events, historical sites, and people that survived the chaos of a developing country. It's a book that will make you think about the West in a whole new way.
