Few of the great overland highways of America have known such a wealth of color and romance as that which surrounded the Santa Fé Trail. For over four centuries the dust-gray and muddy-red trail felt the moccasined tread of Comanches, Apaches, Cheyennes, and Arapahoes. These soft footfalls were replaced by the bold harsh clang of the armored conqueror, Coronado, and by a host of Spanish explorers and soldiers seeking the gold of fabled Quivira. Black and brown-robed priests, armed only with the cross, were followed in turn by bearded buckskin-clad fur traders and mountain men, by canny Indian traders, and lean, weather-beaten drovers with great herds of long-horned cattle. [...] The story dictated in such vivid detail by Marian Sloan Russell is a unique and valuable eyewitness account by a sensitive, intelligent girl who grew to maturity on the kaleidoscopic Santa Fé Trail. “Maid Marian,” as she was known by the freighters and soldiers, made five round-trip crossings of the trail before settling down to live her adult life along its deeply rutted traces. —From Foreword “When it was first published in 1954, Marian Russell’s Land of Enchantment was praised as an outstanding memoir of life on the Santa Fe Trail...Now readers everywhere can enjoy Mrs. Russell’s recollections,... And those readers will discover that Mrs. Russell described much more than just life on the Trail. Indeed her memoirs cover virtually every aspect of life in the West...—Southwest Review “These memoirs reveal a strong, energetic woman whose perceptions of old Santa Fe and pioneer life on the trail paint a vivid picture of the nineteenth-century West. The unusual and exact details which Marian Russell recalls make her story enthrallingly real.”—American West

Would you take the longer route across mountains with more available water? Or would you take the shorter route across the desert with less water? It's your turn to pick this or that!

The Santa Fe Trail survives today in ghostly wagon-wheel ruts that mark the landscape of Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, and New Mexico-reminders of a unique highway of commerce between the United States and Mexico, which has recently been granted historical trail status. The enduring story of the Santa Fe Trail, however, has been its central role in the history of the United States and Mexico and in the life of the land between them-the American Southwest. The Santa Fe Trail: New Perspectives is an informative collection of essays highlighting new directions of inquiry into one of the most important overland trade routes of the nineteenth century. Topics features in the essays include poetry of the trail, Bent's Fort and Manifest Destiny, women on the trail, the origin and development of the Mountain Branch, the role of New Mexican traders, buried treasure legends, and more. Contributors include Marc Simmons, David Lavender, Sandra Myres, Janet Lecompte, Barton Barbour, Daniel Muldoon, David Sandoval, David Dary, and Jack Rittenhouse.
