Touring West "celebrates the creators, promoters, and performers of professional theater, music, and dance who toured the American continent" from 1803 to 1893. The collection includes annotated postings of playbills, broadsides, handbills, souvenirs, postcards, and after 1848, photographs. ... Surveyors of the West features diaries, photographs, stereographs, and field notes related to the work of William Henry Jackson, a government photographer influential in the establishment of US parks in the West, and Robert Brewster Stanton, a civil and mining engineer who surveyed the Grand Canyon between 1889 and 1890, and who was chief engineer for the Denver Colorado Canyon and Pacific Railroad. Together, these ... exhibits constitute a marvelous introduction to Western history via primary documents and images from the era." (infomine)

	xroads.virginia.edu/%7EHYPER/OREGON/toc.html Bog om The Oregon Trail by Francis Parkman (1849) Francis Parkman is one of America's most important historians. Parkman suffered from poor health and gradually lost his sight. It is said that he was only able to write for a few minutes at a time. Parkman once wrote: "Faithfulness to the truth of history involves far more than a research, however patient and scrupulous, into special facts. The narrator must seek to imbue himself with the life and spirit of the time." This is reflected in his work and this website provides you with the full text of the book The Oregon Trial (1849).

The trip was a great financial success as he was able to sell the cotton at $3 a yard. The following year he headed a large wagon train carrying $5,000 in merchandise. The party, including 30 drivers, left Missouri on 4th August, 1822. Becknell followed a new route that later became known as the Sante Fe Trail. He followed the Arkansas River until reaching Fort Dodge. After crossing the Cimarron he headed for Sante Fe which the party reached on 16th November, 1822. William Becknell kept a diary of these adventures and these have now been put on the web." (spartacus)

	www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/WWdonnerP.htm The Donner Party In the years between 1840 and 1848 an estimated 2,735 people migrated overland from Missouri to California. With good weather the 2,000 mile journey would take about five months. It has been estimated that in 1846 around 250 wagons and 1,500 people assembled at Independence, Missouri. This was also the year of the Donner Party, the worst disaster in wagon train history, when forty-two emigrants and two Indian guides died on the journey. This website uses the letters, diaries and memoirs of the people who took part in this journey to tell this dramatic story of heroism, murder and cannibalism.

	www.bestofwesternradio.com/ Beginning in the 1930's and into the early 1960's, radio was the dominant means of communication, featuring entertainment such as comedy, detective shows and tales of the Old West. It also provided a popular means of education. Shows such as "You are There," recreated historical events including the assassination of Julius Caesar, the execution of Mary Queen of Scots, the Battle of Plassey and the Battle of Gettysburg. These shows were particularly exciting as they developed a unique and dynamic method of presentation: they were structured as if they were being covered by embedded journalists at live events. Other shows such as "Frontier Fighters" recreated dramatic events in the history of the American West. Episodes featuring outstanding personalities such as Zebulon Pike, Kit Carson and Wild Bill Hickock, both entertained and informed students during this period. Other shows such as "Cavalcade of America" presented the life stories of Mark Twain, John Sutter and Tom Edison. Best of Western Radio is now broadcasting these shows over the internet to educate and to entertain a new generation.
