Walker, Paul Robert.
TRUE TALES OF THE WILD WEST
Washington, DC : National Geographic, 2002.
IL 3-6, RL 6.2
ISBN 0792282183
The wild west became much less wild during the 19th century.  These are stories of the people who are associated with the west during that time.  Using journals, diaries, letters, newspaper accounts, and legal documents, the author has given us a glimpse of legends such as Lewis and Clark, and events such as the gold rush.  Find out about the Pony Express and the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1869.  And don't forget about the showdown in Tombstone!
Non fiction SUBJECTS:     Frontier and pioneer life West (U.S.)
