Wah-To-Yah and the Taos Trail, Volume 5: Or Prairie Travel and Scalp Dances, with a Look at Los Rancheros from Muleback and the Rocky Mountain CampfirIn the bright morning of his youth Lewis H. Garrard traveled into the wild and free Rocky Mountain West and left us this fresh and vigorous account, which, says A. B. Guthrie, Jr., contains in its pages "the genuine article the Indian, the trader, the mountain man, their dress, and behavior and speech and the country and climate they lived in."

In the bright morning of his youth Lewis H. Garrard traveled into the wild and free Rocky Mountain West and left us this fresh and vigorous account, which, says A. B. Guthrie, Jr., contains in its pages "the genuine article-the Indian, the trader, the mountain man, their dress, and behavior and speech and the country and climate they lived in."

On September 1, 1846, Garrard, then only seventeen years old, left Westport Landing (now Kansas City) with a caravan under the command of the famous trader C ran St. Vrain, bound for Bent's Fort (Fort William) in the southeastern part of present-day Colorado. After a lengthy visit at the fort and in a camp of the Cheyenne Indians, early in 1847 he joined the little band of volunteers recruited by William Bent to avenge the death of his brother, Governor Charles Bent of Taos, killed in a bloody but brief Mexican and Indian uprising in that New Mexican pueblo. In fact, Garrard's is the only eyewitness account we have of the trial and hanging of the "revolutionaries" at Taos.

Many notable figures of the plains and mountains dot his pages: traders St. Vrain and the Bents; mountain men John L. Hatcher, Jim Beckwourth, Lucien B. Maxwell, Kit Carson, and others; various soldiery traveling to and from the outposts of the Mexican War; and explorer and writer George F. Ruxton.

Very good book
Format: Paperback
My son borrowed the book from local library, he kept reading and became very interested in physics. He asked me to buy one so he could read it anywhere anytime. We are very satisfied with this book.

Really great basic/intro to physi
Format: Paperback
Purchased as a birthday present for my very smart 14 year old grandson. The book gives simple discussions about most basic elements of physics. I’m hoping it is not too simple but not too complex. First look tells me I made a good choice. I may buy another one just to have around the house for other grand kids. I’ll give an update after he gets into it a bit.

Looks good so far!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I’m a high schooler who has ADHD and I needed resources to clarify the material I learned from my classes. I’m also a visual learner, and this is AMAZING for my mode of learning. I flipped through the book and I’m literally so hyped to get into it. The illustrations are so cool. Never have I felt this excited to actually learn. Thank you Barron’s! I really hope they make more books like these for all subjects. I will update y’all if I find anything in the book worth noting as I read through.

Interesting and informative
Format: Paperback
Seller gave an honest evaluation on condition of the book and it was received several days earlier than promised. I took Physics in college but wanted a quick review of some of the principles. The illustrations are good and take the place of a Physics lab, helping the reader to visualize the subject being discussed. The reader will have to look for a high school book to go into more depth, but this is great for an introduction or review of the subject.
