Book Description
In the summer of 2000 David Haward Bain and his family left their home in Vermont and headed west in search of America’s past. Spiritually, their journey began on a Kansas trail where the author’s grandmother was born in a covered wagon in 1889. Between the Missouri River and the Golden Gate, they retraced the entire route of the first transcontinental railroad and large stretches of the Oregon and California trails, and the equally colorful old Lincoln Highway. Following vanished iron rails and wagon wheel ruts, bumping down backroads and main streets, they discovered the deep, restless, uniquely American spirit of adventure that connects our past to our present. A superb writer and an exacting researcher, Bain conjures up a marvelous sense of coming unstuck in time as he lingers in the ghost towns and battlegrounds, prairies and river ports, trainyards, museums, deserts, and diners that line his cruise west to California. Bain encounters a fascinating cast of characters, both historic and contemporary, as well as memories of his grandparents and the journeys that shaped his own heritage. Writing in the tradition of William Least Heat-Moon and Ian Frazier, and with an engaging warmth and a deep grasp of history all his own, Bain has fashioned a quintessentially American journey.

Book Description
Herschel C. Logan, a discerning student of western history, and an author and artist of note, has made an important contribution in choosing for his book the biography of a young plainsman who is relatively less known than some of the other figures of the era J. B. “Texas Jack” Omohundro, Confederate trooper, trail driving cowboy, guide and scout in the country of hostile Indians, writer, at times a stage actor, the hero of dime novels, yet always somewhat of a mystery, is herein, for the first time, brought to the pages of history on his own account.—Paul I. Wellman
