<br/><br/> The red and the white --<br/>The fur trade in the West --<br/>The cattle barons. 
<br/><br/> Here is the truth about the early American West.  Terrell attacks three main areas of the mythology of the West, and his documentation is so thorough and comprehensive that he has to be believed.  He illustrates how we stole the land from the Indians.  He shows how we abused that land by destroying the wildlife.  He corrects our romantic misconception about the 'cattle barons'  who took control of vast quantities of land illegally and so abused it that it finally became useless.  A revealing account of the West's development that details the way in which land was taken from the Indians and then abused and destroyed.
