“Source Notes When I started researching this book on the West, the problem wasn’t finding sources—it was finding too many sources. A history nerd like myself (actually I prefer to think of myself as a “story detective”) can get so excited about exploring all the amazing stories that he never actually writes a book. Or gets paid. What I’m trying to say is that I went through a lot of books. Below is a list of the books and others sources in which I found all the great stuff you read in this book... (you did read it, right?). I hope it’s helpful. Books about the West As always, I started by reading books that give an overview of all the action and major players. These books cover America’s westward expansion, Indians, mountain men, miners, cowboys, pioneers, railroads, and lots more. They also introduced me to tons of great characters—people I made sure to find out more about in other books. Barnard, Edward S. Reader’s Digest: Story of the Great American West.
