| Summary | "The Old Santa Fe Trail: The Story of a Great Highway" by Colonel Henry Inman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book narrates the thrilling and often perilous history of the Santa Fe Trail, illustrating its significance as a crucial trade route for pioneers and settlers venturing westward across the American plains. It touches on pioneering figures and events that shaped the trail's legacy and the conflicts between various cultures during the era of westward expansion. At the start of this work, the preface by W.F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody sets the tone for the narrative, emphasizing the romance and drama of the past while preparing the reader for the gripping stories ahead. Inman recounts the early days of the trail, describing the struggles faced by explorers, traders, and settlers who traveled this treacherous route. He discusses the frequent conflicts with Indigenous tribes, the harsh conditions of the landscape, and the evolution of travel from slow ox-drawn caravans to more advanced modes of transportation. The opening sets the stage for a deep exploration into the trials they endured, personal accounts, and historical insights into the profound impact the Santa Fe Trail had on American history.
