Biographies of the pioneers, explorers, and important early settlers in the West are collected in this ongoing series. Including many award-winning studies, the manuscripts that are included are selected on the basis of their original contributions to our understanding of the Western experience, the depth of their research, the skill of the author's presentation. From mountain man Jedediah Smith, to lawman Bill Tilghman, to Mormon pioneer John D. Lee, these are books of unique figures from the frontier.
