For all the Santa Fe Trails enthusiasts out there, Colonel Henry Inman's classic tome is worth checking out but don't be shy about skimming through most of it. The Old Santa Fe Trail: The Story of a Great Highway tries to cram too much into one collection, causing it to feel like a badly edited encyclopedia rather than having a coherent narrative.
Nevertheless, the Colonel can write and many of his stories captivate like a campfire tale. I think I read somewhere that a handful of them have show more been proven to be historically false, but I couldn't point you to which ones. show less
