principal manual for westward bound pioneers. Filled with helpful
information that was essential for safe passage West, today the
book is a fascinating view of the strenuous and hazardous life
faced by prairie travelers. At the time he wrote the book, Randolph
B. Marcy (1812-1889) was a Captain of the U.S. Army. Because he was
an excellent writer and had spent most of his military career in
the American West, Marcy was asked by the War Department to write
this guide. Contents Include: Routes- First Aid - Recommended
Clothing - Shelter - Provisions - Wagon Maintenance and the
