Description: Historic pioneer trails serve as some of the most fascinating links to our nation's past. Although the era of the Santa Fe Trail ceased, its glory-days are still part of the collective imagination of America. Complete with directions, maps, anecdotes, and historical information Following the Santa Fe Trail can take the traveler on an authentic historic journey. Modern paved highways now parallel much of the old wagon route and with this guide a modern adventurer can retrace large sections of the trail. Since Following the Santa Fe Trail by Marc Simmons first appeared in 1984, the trail was designated a National Historic Trail under the National Park Service and public interest has mushroomed. This completely revised third edition now updates all directions and clarifies the changes that have taken place in the last 15 years -- Back cover.
