ABOUT THIS BOOK
This massive annotated bibliography of all known significant eyewitness accounts of 19th-century central overland fills a conspicuous gap in historical literature, and will greatly accelerate research, writing, and collecting in this important phase of western. Platte River Road Narratives includes not only all identifiable overland accounts, but also a far greater number of all identifiable in manuscript form only. The format for over 2,000 entries allows for identification of the author, the form of the passage, overland trip, and Matte's authoritative commentary and evaluation, as well as identification of the repository of the source material.
