Western Towns

In this journey into the past, Wild West Tech strikes out across the young nation and stops at frontier settlements along the way. Discover how these outposts survived everything from Native American attacks and wild weather to the lawlessness that dominated life in the Old West, and learn why some whistle stops were transformed into important cities while other eventually faded away in oblivion. Period accounts detail what life was like in the saloons and stockyards, while visits to restore settlements and abandoned ghost towns provide a glimpse into the sometimes empty promises of "manifest destiny".
