From the Back Cover

In less than 100 years, from 1805 to 1898, America's western frontier leaped 2,000 miles from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. Some 500,000 Americans turned west - some to the Canyon country of Utah, Arizona, Colorado and New Mexico. Many traveled to the great Northwest territory of Washington, Oregon and Northern California. Finally, thousands of get-rich-quick gold rushers made it to Alaska just before the turn of the century. These then are the final chapters in the story of America's Great Frontiers.

America's Canyon Country - With some of the wildest places on earth, this untamed expanse of the Southwest is still home to the Navajo, the Mormons, and the American cowboy.

America's Great Northwest - Washington, Oregon, and Northern California. A land of history and ancient cultures, from Lewis and Clark to the immigrants on the Oregon Trail.

America's Last Frontier: Alaska - Fifty-one million acres of national parks in Alaska preserve much of the history of our last frontier.
