James Josiah Webb left Independence; Missouri; in the summer of 1844 and headed down the Santa Fe Trail with goods bought in St. Louis. Although his first venture as a trader was a failure; he eventually made a fortune as a merchant in Santa Fe. Webb recorded his youthful experiences in 1888; and Ralph P. Bieber; a respected scholar and researcher on western expansion; edited and annotated his journal for publication more than forty years later. Long out of print; Adventures in the Santa Fe Trade is an entertaining and important source of first-hand information about the Santa Fe Trail and trade; trappers; Mexicans; and Indian tribes of the Old Southwest; and the impact of the Mexican War on southwestern trade.

Political ambition; corruption; greed lies (US Govt. cover up) exposed as Truth Knowledge after 140 yrs revealed!By LBWSince the content in Custer's Fall Ghost Dance came directly from my family Minneconjou trbal members both books exposed what really happend at the Battle of the Little Big Horn; finally the truth is revealed for western expansion at the expense of all who fought died needlessly over political ambition; corruption; greed. Miller took his time; 22 yrs to get the facts; truth; tragedy....as well as a 140 yr perpetuated lie about how Custer really died; refreshing after the Custer Massacre myth. The Lakota informants/survivors; so called hostile-dissentents by US govt; were brave to tell Miller the truth set the false narrative of the day to save face after Custer's defeat straight. Looking Back Woman/Suzanne Dupree's Wordpress release; Road to Redemption for the Tetons....has the Dept of Justice; Pentagon DC's BIA gettig their accurrate history lesson as the lies fall away to reality their false history gives way to Truth Knowledge.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.

The true Americanhistory with the American Indian and the white mans move west along with the American government and are policies at the time were really shameful. White men in power with nointegrity. There is so much to say but all I can say is buy and read both of David's books and learn what really happed at the little big horn. I always new we were not told the true story and I agree with what David has written. Facts from real eye witnesses. Ten Stars!!! on both books.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
