From the Missouri to the Great Salt Lake: An Account of Overland Freighting (Used Hardcover) - William Lass

The story of overland freighting is one of the most unique and fascinating in the entire history of the American frontier.  This book will be welcomed by the scholar since few researchers have gone into the subject as thoroughly as Professor Lass; none has dealt with freighting in the Central Plains and the mid-Rockies as thoroughly as he. But in addition to that, this book is for the general reader as well.
