      abstract = {Western settlers created what we think of as the American  West. Explorers came and went, soldiers came and went,  miners and others came and went. But the settlers came to  stay. For settlers, the ways of reaching a destination in  the frontier country were either wretched ordeals or  wondrous adventures. Fortunately, many of these men and  women recorded daily events and their thoughts with such  picturesque zest that some accounts of westward journeys  have elements of great literature within them.},
