encyclopedia of the frontier biography

Excellent product. A must for any serious student or writer who specialize in the history of the American West.

Wish I had the other two volumes

Marvelous, comprehensive, readable, fun. Thrapp surprised me by presenting details of the Bascom Affair I thought had only recently come to light. I wish the other two volumes were available. These are a great research tool and a wonderful addition to my library.
