Men to Match My Mountains: The Opening of the Far West 1840-1900 | 
pick‘Men to Match My Mountains‘ sounds like a terrible erotica/romance novel but it‘s actually the 1959 NF book chronicling US expansion into the Western territories that are now known as CA, UT, NV, & CO. It‘s a testament to the grit and determination of the early explorers, pioneers, miners, and entrepreneurs but it‘s also a witness to the greed, savagery, and sometimes foolishness of those same people. Easily accessible & occasional humor⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

intothehallofbooks That sounds like a great book. Thanks for putting it on my radar-I don‘t think I‘ve heard of it before. 7y
