"From the first famished Spaniards who washed up on Galveston Island to the flamboyant escapades of John C. Fremont. This book has the west pretty much covered. Overall you begin to get the impression that the settlers pulled no punches in those dusty roughhouse days. Taking care not to leave any buffalo alive nor any "savage" Injian outside of his pen. It seems to be a history written largely in blood and greed. It was gold or it was land or... god knows what, if it had a price, someone was going to cash in. I wish we could have put our fears aside while entering the land of foreign people with strange beliefs. But as the cross would have it, no variant from the church was godly and thus must be destroyed. Kind of closed minded no? The author joins me in a glimpse of the could-have-been harmony between Native American and white man. It was entirely possible if it wasn't for our unquenchable thirst for riches and resources. While at the same time I am quite grateful to inhabit this beautiful California coast. So, cheers!"
"This was a great book, not only as a companion piece to Burns's excellent series, but as a stand-alone book as well. There were several photographs and stories in the book that weren't included in the film. I don't know where they dredged up some of those old b&w pics, but they are fantastic, and the writing is also well-done."
