The author of Ghost Soldiers has an eye-opening history of the American victory of the National Bestseller West- “Authority and a story filled with color, truth and prediction” (New York Times Book Review).
In the summer of 1846, the West Army marched through Santa F, which was the route to invade and occupy the western regions claimed by Mexico. Inspired by the new ideology of “Manifest Destiny”, this land grab will lead to a long battle between the United States and Nawazos, which is a fierce resistant ruler of a huge swath of the hill desert forest.
At the center of this broad story, kit cars, traps, scouts and soldiers whose thrills made him a legend. The sides show us how this illiterate hill man thought better and respected Western tribes than any other American, yet voluntarily followed orders that would eventually destroy the Nawajo nation. Rich in detail and for more than three decades, it is an essential addition to our understanding of how the West was actually won.
